TASTING NOTES
The 2019 vintage was characterized by heavy rains in winter and spring, with a total of 53” of rain compared to a historical average of 31”.

VINTAGE SUMMARY
A year of contrasts, a warm January was followed by the coldest February since 1998. April was the second warmest April on record after 2013, but May (during bloom) was particularly rainy and cold.

The first heat wave of the season arrived June 10–11, reaching 102°F, a dramatic jump after the cold May. With saturated soils and warm temperatures, shoot growth was exuberant.

The summer was warm with several heat spikes, and high temperatures exceeded historical averages from June through September.
