Fruit from Sonoma vineyards contributes flavor, minerality, and complexity, while Lake County brings citrus notes. Mendocino lends color and fruit-forward flavors, and the warmer Lodi appellation provides concentration. Vineyards in Monterey offer tropical aromatics and well-balanced acidity. In Santa Barbara, cooler, marine-influenced vineyards contribute crisp, clean minerality and balanced acidity, while vineyards farther inland experience morning coastal fog and afternoon winds that enhance the wine’s tropical notes. Blending fruit from these distinct growing regions across California creates a balanced, food-friendly wine.

Across California, the growing season began with abundant winter rainfall, followed by a cool spring. Summer temperatures varied, remaining mild in some regions and warmer in others, with an early heatwave helping to accelerate fruit ripening. This allowed us to pick the fruit at its optimal ripeness in mid-September, resulting in clusters with excellent flavor and acidity.

To preserve the wine’s fruit and natural acidity, the wine underwent a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the lots are blended, taking care to balance the characteristics of each vineyard in the wine.
