2022 was "a freaky growing season," Jim Maresh recalls. "The growing season was almost identical to 2008—the greatest season of all time. But in 2022, we had large cluster formation rather than a bunch of shatter like in 2008, so it was bigger clusters that hung super late. The cool vintage with bigger clusters combined to give really low sugars. This is around 12.7% alcohol—I picked it the day before Halloween." While the 2021s are super concentrated and highly coiled, "the 2022s aren’t built like the 2021s," he explains. “The 2022s are earlier drinking, rounder, more open."
