2015 Vintage Notes:
"The wines of the .... historically early and intense 2015 vintage .... are dark and intense and not quickly giving up their secrets. Yields were down, in some places significantly, likely contributing to their richness. More than 2012, 2013, or even 2014, the real trick in 2015 was finding a way to temper the natural weightiness of the vintage with enough brightness, like finding a trace of celestial in the terrestrial. There appear to be many successes even if harvest felt like a flash in the pan." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
