2004
As for 2003, the season was an interestingly warm year that ultimately led to the production of very rich and higher alcohol wines. Bloom occurred mid-June with a normal to low set. A dry hot summer marked by 2 days of heavy rain in late August, reduced the yield when the smaller berries (shot-berries) couldn’t handle the excess water and split open, losing valuable tonnage and quality. The dry weather came back, allowing the lost berries to dry up and fall off the clusters. The low yields and beautiful fall weather came together to create intensely expressive fruit.
