2026 Spring release
As we step into the new year, we’re excited to begin the season with our Spring Release. Featuring the 2023 vintage of Hoc, Muze, and Reflet alongside new vintages of Contrast and L’Essor, these wines set the tone for the year ahead.
The 2023 vintage continues to stand out as one of rare harmony and balance. Early in the season, cooler temperatures allowed the vines to progress slowly, setting a thoughtful rhythm for the months that followed. As the season unfolded, mild summer conditions preserved natural freshness while giving the fruit time to develop nuance and structure. The vines moved steadily towards ripeness, resulting in wines that feel composed, nuanced, and deeply expressive. These wines have the depth and energy to evolve beautifully over the years to come.
With this spring release, we’re reminded why the start of a new year is so inspiring. In the vineyard, the vines will soon begin to wake from dormancy, inching closer to budbreak as the days slowly lengthen. In the cellar, our team has been busy racking and bottling new vintages, quiet, methodical work that guides past harvests to their next chapter. While much of this work unfolds quietly, it’s essential to everything that follows.
As always, we are thankful for your continued support and enthusiasm. We look forward to sharing the spring releases with you, and hope to share moments with you throughout the year ahead.
The Story of the 2023 Vintage
Hoc, Muze, and Reflet were shaped by an exceptional growing season that set the tone for the 2023 vintage. Long-awaited winter rains were followed by a cool, unhurried spring and a mild summer, allowing the vines to develop evenly and with intention. From the start, the vineyard showed remarkable harmony, and as the wines evolved in barrel, that promise only grew. The wines are precise yet expressive, defined by lifted aromatics, vibrant energy, and remarkable clarity. They are compelling now, but built to evolve for years to come.
