Vintage 2024 unfolded on time, as if the season itself had been orchestrated. Generous winter and spring rains refreshed the soils, giving vines a deep reserve of water heading into a warm, dry flowering that produced beautifully set clusters. Summer brought warm days and cool nights, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while maintaining vibrant acidity, and the absence of rain kept disease pressure low. Harvest arrived under cool, sunny skies, enabling careful, deliberate picking at perfect maturity. Edmeades Vineyard was LIOCO's first foray into the lower-elevation sites (250') on the south side of Highway 128—those with more shading from afternoon sun allowing the fruit to develop more slowly, preserving freshness and nuance. The resulting wines carry a lower pH than those on the hillsides across the street, and a palpable freshness and taught structure on the palate. In 2024, we harvested all three clones (115, 777, and Swan) on the same morning and co-fermented them with 10% whole clusters (which was a first). The resulting wine shows layered aromatics, supple tannins, and a natural vibrancy.
