Red Wine

Vintage: • The 2018 season began with normal winter weather, both in temperatures and rainfall, causing bud break to occur in line with seasonal averages for the region. • Springtime, May in particular, saw frequent rainfall and temperatures slightly lower than average. • Summer months were hot, dry and without any significant heat spikes: these climatic conditions gave the grapes an excellent head start in the ripening phase. Some rain showers in August followed by a dry breezy September...

HISTORY NOTES: With the 2001 vintage, Villa Antinori became an IGT Toscana wine, allowing Antinori to have complete control of the winemaking process. The design of the label has remained unaltered since 1928 with only the very slightest modifications in 1990 and in 2001. WINEMAKING NOTES: The 2019 season began with dry weather during the first part of spring then cooler temperatures and rainfall that affected the vegetative cycle, slowing down initial vine growth and causing asubsequent delay...

2016 “The Shop” Carneros Pinot Noir: The 2016 Shop may be the most exciting Shop I have made to date, because it has an energy that is extremely rare in Carneros wines. It is even slightly nervy when first opened and needs time to calm down. That’s why I released it a little later than usual. I often say that a wine has to be ugly before it can be pretty and that sums up my experience watching the 2016 Shop develop in the cellar prior to bottling. It was angular and funky all through the...

We continually examine our vineyard sources to discard weaker links and add stronger ones. We...

VINTAGE: 2017 was a knuckle-biter of a season. Spring was cool and very moist, delaying bud break by at least two weeks in most locations and creating concerns about eventual ripeness and disease. A really wet spring was followed by a really hot summer which got us back on track and mitigated the fears of mold on the clusters. Late summer was punctuated by huge regional fires which brought smoke to the region. We lost perhaps a week of ripening weather to smoke-filled skies, perhaps a blessing...

2018 Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: 2018 was a fantastic vintage with almost perfect ripening weather and better than average yields of very high-quality fruit.

THE VINEYARD:Once a dairy farm and pastureland, this vineyard has realized its greatest potential as a prime, virgin Pinot Noir vineyard.

I have been working with this vineyard since 2003 and have always been impressed by the quality of the Pinot Noir it produces.
