The 2022 growing season was one we’d like to see every year. We had a mild but sunny spring, plenty of sun and heat throughout the summer, and a substantial drought extending
from mid-June through mid-August. We harvested early for the sparkling wines, and that fruit showed great development and chemistry. We had little rain in September, so disease
pressure remained lower than usual until mid-October. We were burdened with more rain than was ideal for mid-season harvesting. Fortunately, most of the sensitive varieties were already in the winery. Our vineyard crews' dedication to
canopy management is a big reason we get the quality fruit we do, even during challenging conditions.

Aromas of Meyer lemon and honeydew melon, with delicate
notes of apple blossom, give way to flavors of pear, lemon zest, and a subtle minerality on the finish. A pleasant creaminess can also develop through time spent aging in the bottle.

Seafood, light-flavored meats, light to medium sauces (particularly white and butter sauces), and mild cheeses.
