Vineyard Notes
A near-perfect growing season with a warm, dry spring and relatively light winds. Summer was nice and warm without excessive heat until an 80mm downpour mid-January; a timely watering for the reds, followed by some cooler weather. Fruit for our Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested during perfect autumnal conditions, with excellent concentration and structure.
