Winemaker Notes
A perfect spring and early bud break/veraison coupled with the typical
daytime temperatures and accompanying winds has led to another
incredible harvest for Monterey and the Santa Lucia Highlands. The
warmer than normal temperatures of the Pacific Ocean/Monterey Bay
led to warmer night time temps causing slightly lower than normal
acids and earlier ripening.
