Harvest Notes

  • Here in the valley, it was a warm, dry winter, with rain and cold weather arriving at the end of March
  • The mild spring season gave the fruit a great early start
  • Summer brought very cool mornings and very warm days
  • Care was taken to fine tune crop loads in each vineyard block, helping to maintain intensity in the fruit
