Far Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Fission Sonoma Valley 2020 750ml

2020 was a dry growing season. Winter was moderate temperatures with just above 10 inches of rain, setting off budbreak 10 days earlier that usual. A mild spring slowed things down allowing healthy canopy growth. Hot summer days, encouraged the vines to ripen slowly and clusters to develop mountain complexity. Harvest begun 10 days earlier than previous years. The vines self regulated and showed lower yields from the very beginning. There were signs of concentration and density that amplified the character of the mountain site. Dry farming, elevation, and older vines have become the signature in these wines which allows the team to offset challenges and variabilities of a vintage.
