Vineyard Notes
2019 started with some cold winter weather. The month of February was filled with snow. The soils were wet when spring hit, and growth took off. We didn’t need to irrigate the grapes until July, much later than average. The summer was warm but not overly extreme. The heat units were on pace with some of the hotter vintages, but trailed off as summer came to an end.
Harvest kicked off with our Rose in late August, then the whites in September. Things continued smoothly until we got a cold snap in October. It was all hands-on deck at that point, and we hustled to harvest the rest of the grapes. 2019 will end up being another stellar vintage of wines from Coyote Canyon Vineyard.
Winemaker Notes
It is nice to make another vintage of our Bordeaux inspired red blend. I didn’t get to add all the components but love the way these three grapes blended together. We picked each block separately, the Merlot in September and the Malbec and Cab in October. We fermented in small lots and aged the wines in barrel for over a year before blending. A combination of new and used French oak bring great structure and added flavor to the wine. This wine will age well.
