2025 – OUR GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY VINTAGE
“The 2025 season brought ideal conditions, yielding exceptional wines. A wet winter replenished soil, ensuring healthy vines and balanced yields. Mild spring temperatures fostered strong flowering and fruit set.
Summer’s warm days and cool nights enabled slow ripening, preserving acidity and enhancing complexity. A dry, smooth harvest allowed precise picking at peak ripeness.
The result? Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines shine with bright acidity and layered flavors, while Zinfandel dazzles with deep fruit concentration and spice. Napa’s Cabernet Sauvignon has emerged as a standout with exceptional aging potential, alongside impressive Merlot.
Fresh, refined whites and bold, velvety reds define this vintage. Early tastings suggest a vintage of remarkable harmony, with wines poised for both early enjoyment and long-term cellaring.”
Brooks Painter, Winemaker Emeritus
