Late, even budburst — the cold hung on at 100–500 m and kept the vines asleep an extra week. I don't mind; slow starts tend to finish right.

About this Crew
Revealed on enrollment
Winemaker
The grower here farms Cabernet Sauvignon on granitic and clay-loam soils on alluvial valley floors and slopes in Colchagua Valley. Their name is withheld on the public listing and shared with the Crew on enrollment — what you can judge now is the place, the live data feed, and the samples across the season.
The history.
Colchagua Valley has made wine far longer than any of us. We farm a small parcel of it, by hand, the way it was taught to us — warm mediterranean, cooled by pacific breezes through the coastal range.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Even budburst across the blocks. I'm not relaxed yet, but the season is shaping up honestly.”
— the winemaker, updated this month
Philosophy.
Balance over power. I'd take a wine you can finish a bottle of over one that wins a tasting and tires by the second glass.

Finished pruning the home block today. My hands are reminding me how many cuts that is. The oldest vines on granitic and clay-loam soils on alluvial valley floors and slopes get pruned last, by me, every year.

Reservoir check came back lower than I'd like. We'll dry-farm the old vines and water only the young ones. Less wine, but the right wine.
