Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Two Coyotes Vineyard holds 11yr old clone 1 & 2 Tempranillo in about a foot of dirt over cracked Basalt, the slopes face south east for great early day exposure and the elevation is at about 1200 ft. The higher elevation offers a slightly cooler climate allowing the grapes a longer and steadier growing season and great flavor development.
Production Notes
We produced 325 cases.
Winemaker Notes
It was an average growing season but very hot and dry. The fruit came in early at the last week of September.
