Rumors are that the 2011 harvest was certainly not the easiest, but who wants easy? The growing season began with a wet cool spring. Rainfall lasted into the middle of June affecting bloom and diminishing yields in many vineyards. The cool weather trend continued all summer delaying ripening throughout Napa Valley. The truth is, even in a stellar vintage, nothing is perfect. We are proud to say, that this vintage will be epic in our portfolio. We took advantage of the challenges and made a great wine.
