RNDC
2021 KELLI ANN VINEYARD CHARDONNAY
WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR VINTAGE
Sonoma County had an excellent growing season in 2021. A relatively dry winter exacerbated drought conditions and resulted in a much lighter crop compared to average. Spring was relatively cold and peppered with freeze events both pre and post bud break. A warm dry summer provided ideal growing and ripening conditions mostly in the absence of extreme heat spells. The heat did arrive early to mid-August and drove early ripening in the Russian River Valley. Our 2021 Kelli Ann Vineyard Chardonnay harvest began on August 26th.
