2007 La Cuillere "Member's Reserve" Pinot Noir

2007 

April was much wetter and cooler than normal. May and June were dryer and warmer than average. The summer was dry and warm with a few very wet days with 1.5” of rain from July 17th to the 21st. September ended up cooler with some very wet days- with 2.5” in two days on September 28th and 30th; the rain continued through October with an inch on the 2nd and 3rd with more to come... All of our fruit was hand-picked, and as ripe as could be under the circumstances. The clusters were large, actually swollen by the recent rainstorms.
