The 2006 vintage began with mild temperatures characteristic of Monterey’s maritime climate, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. We started picking on September 20th and continued at a steady pace, diligently tasting and patiently waiting for each vineyard block to reach a balance of acidity and ripeness.

Light seafood such as grilled basil marinated halibut with a chopped tomato salad, sauteed shrimp, and spicier Asian dishes. Richer dishes such as creamy crab and vegetable pasta will be enlivened by the crisp finish.
