2021 Started off with very little rain, leading to drought conditions in Napa Valley.  The winter delivered a scant amount of rain in January and February and then almost nothing after that. While this lack of moisture had the effect of limiting the amount of fruit that the vines were ready to produce, the lack of adverse weather also meant that  both bud break and flowering proceeded uneventfully.  While concerning in the long term, the drought of 2021 resulted in a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit.  The summer was marked by no significant heat events, unlike other recent vintages, allowing for smooth and even ripening.

A Bordeaux-style blend from vines planted in 2012, Fe's 2021 26 features plenty of ripe cherries, cool mint and sage overtones and a hint of vanilla. This full-bodied wine is silky and composed, with plenty of ripe, fine-grained tannins and a flourish of soft dusty notes on the finish.
