2018 GROWING SEASON: The winter of 2018 was abnormally dry with little to no rainfall. The high pressure ridge that kept winter storms to the North of California broke down in March and allowed a series of winter storms to bring much needed rainfall across California.

Bloom conditions were optimal, and the resulting fruit set was even and...

Varieties and vineyard lots are kept separate until the best lots are blended together to create the final wine. This Cabernet offers aromas of bright cherry,...

Notes:When not making “gorgeous” Zinfandels at a “one of the best value wineries in the entire world” (Parker), the winemaker behind Book of Shadows turns his hand to personal projects.
