Vintage:
Despite a warm February, the 2018 growing season started off cooler than the past few vintages. A cool spring meant
bloom lasted longer than usual, but the fruit set was consistent and near-perfect leading to large grape clusters. There were
a couple small weather events during the set, but most Russian River and Sonoma Coast vineyards were not affected.
Summer temperatures were moderate with fewer heat spikes than in recent years.
