Vintage notes
Another exceptional vintage in Alexander Valley with outstanding color and flavor development. Ripe, black fruit characters and great concentration. A warm, relatively dry spring through April and May produced very even flowering and fruit set. We were a little worried in midsummer that sugars were ahead of flavor development, but cool weather in September stalled ripening. The nights stayed cool—low 50s. Yields were smaller than the previous two vintages.
