2005 Vintage Notes

Record-setting precipitation late into the growing season delayed bloom and set. The summer months were cool and pleasant with few heat spikes. Fog and cool temperatures were a concern heading into September but nearly perfect conditions arrived with an Indian Summer making for a later than average harvest, extended hang time, excellent sugar development and balanced acids. It was a larger than average crop of what was considered a signature Napa Valley vintage.
