It’s been a remarkable growing season in many significant ways, not the least of which is Monte Bello being picked out ahead of zinfandel!

That said, our zin properties are rapidly closing in on their respective finish lines as well, as are the remaining Rhones, and the true end ain’t that far off.

Will Thomas, our esteemed Lytton Springs Viticulturist, has been a champ-and-a-half as regards keeping us updated on Sonoma endeavors, and per his correspondence this morning, it’s another busy day to the north.
