Sourced from prestigious vineyards throughout California. The 2019 California winegrape harvest played out perfectly across the state. The growing season was long with moderate temperatures throughout the spring and summer months allowing fruit to mature slowly without heat stress. These classic strong and steady growing conditions coupled with cooler temperatures yielded exceptional quality fruit throughout the state in 2019.
