Chalk Talk
Answers to the question, "How is all that rain going to express itself in the vintage?" are starting to appear. Bud break, the awakening from dormancy, was a few days later than usual as the mild to cool spring slowly roused the vines.
In this Wine Club exclusive pre-release, we are proud to introduce the 2022 Viognier, 2021 Trés Violet, 2021 Reserve Grenache, and 2021 Estate Syrah. I hope you enjoy!
Over the years, we have made big changes in our sustainability practices to help improve and protect our unique hilltop environment here at Calcareous. Earth Day and every day, we are dedicated to nurturing this land for generations and vintages to come.
Our wet and cold winter has continued here at Calcareous, and it is a most welcome development for our vineyard.
One of the great intrigues of wine is experiencing how it develops with age. The generally held assumption is that wine requires time and "improves" with age.
Some of my favorite quotes about wine making in America go back to almost the very beggining. In Andrew S Fuller's 1867 classic "The Grape Culturist", an early treastie on grape growing in America, his disdain for wine is barely veilded.
