Region: Tejada Ranch
Tejada Ranch is situated in California's Mendocino County, a region renowned for its diverse microclimates and favorable terroir. The vineyard benefits from deep alluvial soils near the Russian and Navarro Rivers, transitioning to gravelly-loam compositions that promote excellent drainage and vine health. The surrounding slopes feature thinner, scree-laden soils, adding complexity to the grape characteristics. The climate in Mendocino County offers a shorter growing season compared to neighboring regions, with an average of 268 days, allowing for the development of balanced acidity and concentrated flavors in the grapes.
2019 Growing Season
The 2019 growing season in California was marked by cooler temperatures and an extended maturation period. Heavy rains in February replenished soil moisture without adversely affecting the vines, as they were in their dormant phase. A wet spring, coupled with cool temperatures during flowering, led to a gradual ripening process. This extended hang time allowed the grapes to achieve full flavor development while maintaining fresh acidity and superb balance. Vintners across the state praised the 2019 fruit for its full flavors and excellent structure.
