Hand-selection of the finest grapes in Northern Napa Valley, harvested from A-list vineyards located on gravelly, alluvian fan soils. Rainy winter & spring. Mild summer with a few heat spikes. Minimal yields, with two clusters per strong shoot with minimal watering of vines for concentration of flavors. Grape sorting once in the barn so only the perfectly-ripened fruit makes it into the Reserve. Harvested October 22, 2019.
