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. Our Primitivo was picked before any frost issues. The wines from this vintage are tasting amazing. 2019 will end up being another stellar vintage from Coyote Canyon Vineyard.
Winemaker Notes
We machined harvested the grapes in mid September and delivered them to the winery. They were fermented in a one-ton macro bin. After fermentation the wine was pressed off into French Oak barrels. It was aged for 18 months prior to filtration and bottling. A little Graciano was blended to had depth and richness to the wine.
