Re Aerika pricing
When I was there the pricing I was told the range was 200s for the prologue wines but not finalized, and the estate vineyard hasn’t had fruit yet so I think that is a ways away. Julia is very very sharp and has her head firmly on earth, not in the clouds. I’m sure whatever number they come up with is fair for the time, effort, and quality they’ve put to bottle.
I know they’ve taken over farming at a very high level for a good chunk of the prologue vineyards (see IG for the replant of Wing Canyon), and doing things the right way is not easy or inexpensive. Certainly more expensive than hiring crews or just buying the fruit.
