Tasting Notes
2018 Privity expresses even more balance that the 2017. The nose is met with ripe black cherry, baking spices and tobacco leaf. On the palate, the balance between ripe tannins and dark fruits is seamless. Hints of dried currant, dark chocolate and rhubarb preserve, lead to a lingering finish that shows the complexity of this mountain fruit gem. Drinkable in its youth with a healthy decant, the 2018 Privity will only get better with time.
Vintage Notes
The 2018 growing season started off cooler than the past few vintages. Bloom lasted longer than usual but fruit set was consistent and good at the vineyard site. Summer temperatures were moderate with fewer heat spikes than in recent years so Veraison started later as well. With a cooling period in late July, the late summer heat spikes that drove early harvest in the two previous vintages were avoided. Altogether the 2018 growing season produced fully mature fruit, sweet tannins, outstanding color and brightness that should make exceptional wines.
