The ripe fruit from this vintage offers a perfumed nose of Bing cherries, wild strawberry, mushroom, Asian spice, mint and black tea. I find that the rich and round tannins help to carry the balanced acidity of the wine that follows through long into the finish. A wonderful year in the Central Coast.
—Winemaker Bob Cabral
A hot spell in March followed by a warm spring influenced an unusually early bloom and budbreak. This precocious start, followed by a growing season of moderate temperatures, resulted in a very early harvest. Although we harvested the grapes two to three weeks earlier than normal, the long season provided ample time for the fruit to reach full maturity and develop extraordinary color and intense flavors. A cooling trend in mid-September offered the Chardonnay additional hang time prior to harvest.
