Juicy, bright fruit, and soft, sweet oak make a lovely glass of wine. It’s a perfect wine for casual dinners or barbecues out on the patio – so go ahead, have a party, and bring out The Scoundrel®!
Vintage Notes
2018 was a seamless season of heavenly hang time and phenomenal phenolic development. February saw abundant rains, followed by lots of filtered light in spring and early summer. Both bud break and flowering occurred a bit late, but under ideal weather conditions, creating plentiful and even fruit set. Summer brought generous sun during the day and cooler marine influences, virtually uninterrupted by major heat spikes. The relatively mild summer followed by extended fall sunshine and moderate heat created near-ideal conditions for winemakers to allow their fruit to accumulate flavor complexity with gradual increases in sugar levels. Volume is looking great, up 20%-30% increase over average crop quantity.
