Vintage Notes - 2021
The 2021 vintage will be remembered for low yields, intensely-flavored small-sized berries, an extended hang time, and a smooth uneventful harvest. Ironically, the ongoing drought that was the culprit of the year's lighter yields created flavor intensity that has been described as "through the roof". Early heat and the lack of rain accelerated sugar accumulation but soon moderate temperatures arrived increasing phenolic ripening, extending the growing season and intensifying flavor development. The resulting grapes were packed full of flavor. 2021, may prove to be one of the best vintages in recent memory.

WINEMAKING NOTES
Cuvée Lynn Marie, Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful blend of fruit from two of Napa Valley's finest vineyards.

A four day cold soak was followed by a 31-45 day fermentation. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 20 months and bottled on August 5, 2023.
