Vintage The 2023 vintage in Napa Valley stands out for its impeccable growing conditions, defined by a long, cool summer and delayed harvest.

Drawing from the diversity of volcanic and mountain terroirs, the wines are both complex and expressive, showcasing layers of fruit and earthy nuances. Winemakers used meticulous farming and winemaking techniques, including organic and sustainable practices, to craft a vintage of exceptional balance and long-term potential.
