"A producer pushing into red varieties previously considered risky for the climate, led by a winemaker who sources cold-climate Italian and Central European varieties and uses proprietary hoop houses (arched structures that can raise temperatures by up to 15 degrees) to extend the growing season by about a month. Those techniques have made reliably ripening reds commercially and artistically viable, enabling the estate to craft Italian-style blends entirely in-house even in cooler years." - Alexandra Gillespie
