2019 Harvest stats:

Vineyard: Napa, Valley

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Pick Date: October 27, 2019

Pick Time: 7:19 a.m.

Brix: 25.8

Ph: 3.54

TA: .535

Important Facts. Great timing after holding on and picking a week later (I still wanted to let it hang, but things worked out wonderful) to let the sugars and flavors mature (after a very cool October and late rains). Quality : excellent Patience in the vineyard always pays off. No panic picking here. Just barreled after extended maceration. Wonderful color, fruit character, and tannin. This one will be interesting (how it develops) when it comes to making the wine. 2010 is going to be an outstanding vintage.
