New Release from Winemaker Carmel Greenberg
"This season, we are excited to release our 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from our Hirondelle Vineyard in Stags Leap District, Napa Valley.
The 2022 growing season began with moderately low rainfall and mild temperatures throughout spring and summer. The weather warmed up in August and Napa Valley had a early September heat wave that was, thankfully, followed by a few days of refreshing rainfall that quickly replenished our vines. The fruit was able to slowly mature into late October, producing elegant wines with rich, concentrated flavors.
A beautiful reflection of our Stags Leap District terroir, our 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and expressive with a concentrated nose of raspberry, clove and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet fresh and elegant with a core of vibrant acidity and polished tannins. Bold flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, and cassis are followed by a long, smooth finish.
It is a treat to share this wine with you, and we hope you will savor a glass with loved ones over a cherished meal this holiday season."
Harvest Update from Viticulturist Ryan Decker
"We picked and processed the final clusters of the 2024 vintage in mid-October, marking the end of an incredibly successful harvest season.
Scattered rain and mild temperatures throughout the growing season allowed for even berry set and development. These ideal conditions carried through to harvest, which began in late August with our first pick of Sauvignon Blanc from our Riverbend Vineyard in Yountville.
As temperatures warmed up in September, the harvest season stretched out evenly, helping us maintain a smooth and consistent pace. We were fortunate to avoid any significant weather challenges, except for a heat wave at the beginning of October that helped the slower blocks reach maturity.
The 2024 harvest officially concluded on October 15th with a final pick of Cabernet Sauvignon from our Hirondelle Vineyard in Stags Leap District.
Cheers to the 2024 vintage!"
