| Vineyard Notes: | Mother Nature showed her temperamental side in 2006—pounding us with heavy spring rain, making us sweat out a heat wave and then graciously providing perfect conditions during harvest. Rains lasted unusually late into spring, raising the total seasonal rainfall to 31 inches in the Los Carneros AVA. June tallied slightly above-average temperatures, and hot weather arrived in July. Napa’s renowned morning fog returned in August and continued through harvest to foster exceptional grapes. |
