Vintage Notes

As the record floods of February 1986 subsided, our vineyards emerged largely unscathed. The storms were followed by a two-week warm spell that accelerated bud break, resulting in the longest growing season we have ever had. Uncertain weather during bloom reduced the crop significantly but led to a greater concentration of flavor in the fruit at harvest time.
