Vintage:  

The 2016 vintage is celebrated as one of the finest in recent decades, displaying 

remarkable balance, complexity, and longevity. A warm, dry winter and mild spring encouraged early budbreak and steady vine development, while a cooler-than-usual August allowed for extended hangtime. This extended ripening period ensured grapes developed rich, concentrated flavors without sacrificing acidity, resulting in wines that exhibit vibrancy and precision. The consistent growing season provided the winemaking team the e luxury of choosing optimal picking times, leading to uniform ripeness and nuanced expressions in the wines.
