Vintage Chart

Vintage Chart

Vintage charts are a great tool to see the growing conditions of a particular year summarized at a glance. However, always remember that there is an exception to every rule! Good producers will often make excellent wines in apparently lesser vintages. A wine’s tasting note will give a good indication of how the wine fared. Check out our key to see how we rate our wines.

  • Non-vintage
  • Still young, will benefit from cellaring
  • Ready, accessible now but can wait longer
  • Drink, consume within the next 5-10 years
  • Drink now or in the next year
  1. 1-2 Don’t bother
  2. 3-4 Below expectations
