2017 Brut

2017, after three very warm and early harvests, brought a welcome change with cooler temperatures during the summer and an average harvest window. We began picking on September 15th for sparkling wine. After a week with temperatures in the 70’s, we harvested Chardonnay between 9/22 and 9/29. All the Pinot noir was picked in a two-week window beginning on 9/26 with continued pleasant temperatures and no rain. The wines have more aromatic flavor nuances, balanced acidity, and moderate alcohol.
