FALL RELEASE 2026

The 2024 growing season had a very different rhythm than the year before. After a wet winter that left the vineyards in a healthy water position, the season started cool before June brought a significant change in pace. July delivered an extended stretch of heat, with repeated days above 100°F, pushing ripening forward and creating some challenges with sunburn. Healthy canopies helped protect the fruit, and the cooler period that arrived in September gave the later blocks time to slow down and find their balance. Harvest came earlier than in 2023, and while yields were generally lighter, the fruit that made it to the winery was healthy, concentrated and balanced. We are excited to introduce the 2024 Such as Dreams, Mother of Invention, and The Realization; three wines that reflect both the character of the vintage and the individual sites and varieties that make up IIWII.

For the first time, we are also introducing a different expression of white wine at IIWII: our 2024 Clairette Blanche, Extended Barrel Aged. With more time in barrel, this wine takes Clairette in a new direction for us, developing beautiful aromatics, texture and depth while maintaining the freshness we look for in our whites. It is our first winter white, and an important step in where we see our white wines expending to.
