EXPERIENCE | SUMMER 2016

A NOTE FROM MATT

Well, it is official – Summer has arrived and brought the heat back to Paso Robles. Already the 2016 vintage is looking good. The vines truly enjoyed a little more rain this year: 22 inches versus the last couple of years that had less than half that amount. We are still, however, very much in a drought. The leaves are green, the clusters are slowly maturing into what will be flavorful fruit for awesome wines. It is too early to predict exactly how the 2016 harvest will layout but I’m keep my fingers crossed on perfection.

In the Cellar, the 2015 wines have been blended and are comfortably resting in an assortment of vessels ranging from Concrete tanks, large Oak Foudres, to smaller Casks. All of the 2014 Vintage has been bottled and while some wines are ready for release, others will await for release in 2017.

We hope to see you this summer or later at our Harvest kick off party, Saturday, September 10th. We are planning a great party, so get out your dancing shoes and get ready to have fun. In the mean time, as always, we offer up some delicious 1.5L magnum bottles of 2013 Overthinker and 2013 Martyr. Very few bottles were produced so we encourage you to get them while you can. Stay Cool!
