Bud break occurred two weeks earlier than normal in 2015. Cooler conditions during fruit set
resulted in a lower yields than normal; mother nature thereby ensuring the vines were in good
balance with no need to drop fruit to achieve ripening. Throughout the rest of the season,
growing conditions were near perfect; the very small crop produced more concentrated flavors
and achieved ripeness earlier than any previous vintage. Hand harvested in September and early
October, the 2015 wines have explosive flavors, great balance, and ripe, soft tannins.
