While our goal is to release wines only when they are ready to be enjoyed, certain wines can often evolve and taste even better after a few years of aging in the right conditions.
We hope this inspires you to dig deep into your cellar and enjoy some of those special bottles you have been saving!
Each year, our winemaking team tastes through our entire library of wines and places them into one of the following categories:
EARLY MATURITY — fine to drink now, but will improve with age
PEAK MATURITY — a wine at its peak balance of flavors
LATE MATURITY — a wine expressing aged flavors
PAST PRIME — perfect for cooking
While these categories are useful in figuring out when to drink a wine, wine evolution is much more dynamic and unpredictable than a finite category would suggest. We feel like additional explanation is helpful! To read more about our process, click here »
