What a difference a year makes. Deciding not to harvest the 2018 Riesling due to smoke exposure in the vineyard was agonizing but it was the correct decision. For the first time since 1972, Chateau Montelena did not make Riesling, but the 2019 was well worth the wait. Not only is it delicious and certainly fills the void from the missed vintage, but the entire episode, capped with the comeback of an amazing wine, serves as yet another example of our unwavering commitment to integrity and honesty. The rhetoric of “high standards” and “no compromises” is bandied about, but the idea of crafting a wine contrary to our values wasn’t even considered. Welcome back Riesling.

2019 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc’s development in the cellar and bottle is a relatively short one at just six months; but it’s that recency that so robustly ties our actions with what we experience in the glass.

Paradoxically, the “easy” or “straightforward” vintages can be the most difficult for me as a winemaker.
