2021 is another vintage that began with a warmer than average Summer (it hit 118f in June!) but ended on a cooler than average harvest. It resulted in a vintage with the richness of ‘18 but with ‘19’s pretty side — it’s built on poise rather than broad shoulders. A true labor of love. We always feel incredibly fortunate to get a handful of barrels from our 2 acre block at the very top of Temperance. This is a wellfruited TH with its classic top-notes of juniper and bay leaf before moving into cigar humidor moving to a energetic, mouth-filling mid-palate of red fruits and dried flowers.
