in the vineyard : This vintage was a difficult year. It started off with a good long cool growing, but as summer approached we had two heat spells at about blossom stage and then again at berry set. This created a lot of uneven ripening.

about the harvest: We picked the berries for this wine in three stages. The first picking happened at low sugars with good firm acids. The second picking, as the vines were ripening better, took place at perfect berry and seed ripeness, and the third picking took place, mainly on the Chardonnay, with ripe sun-ripened berries.
