VINTAGE NOTES
A normal budburst in September in cool, dry conditions, was the only thing that was predictable about this vintage. After a December and January of searing heat, regional fires and unpredictable winds, autumn arrived early in early February. The critical late-summer/autumn ripening period was perfect for bringing out the best qualities from each of our vineyards
