A dry warm winter and spring brought beautiful quality and lower yields to our estate both in the whites and the reds. A prolonged cool spell during bloom which started in early May set a small crop, riddled with shot berries and very loose clusters, particularly in Cabernet Sauvignon. Good concentration, beautiful fruit flavors and nice depth in flavor are some of the most exciting characteristics of this vintage. It is a classic Napa Valley vintage – with lush flavors, and silky tannins with precise structure and bright fruit aromas.
