Tasting Notes
Our 2021 Dry Riesling from our Davis Vineyard is bright and refreshing, bursting with keen aromas of Key lime, kiwi and ground cherries mingled with wet slate. The palate opens with the creamy, citric delight of a slice of Key lime pie cozied up next to a slice of lemon merengue. Delectable!

Vintage Notes
Winter of 2021 gave us some surprisingly warm days and just enough snow to be protective when the temperatures dipped low. Early spring was lovely - sunny and mostly dry with undisturbed flowering and fruit set. Beginning in June, the summer rains arrived and persisted through August. Once into September and more so in October, we were blessed with warm and dry weather, allowing us to round out our harvest season in good conditions. The abundant moisture during the summer months resulted in a smaller crop but yielded very fruit-driven and expressive reds and sparkling and bright and refreshing whites and rosés.
