Vintage:
2018 started out with very cold temperatures in January and continued throughout most of the winter. The cold weather was followed by an unusually wet spring. Some rains coming when the vines were beginning to flower, an important process in the grape development and a time when heavy rains are not wanted. The summer was consistently hot and humid with the humidity never seeming to abate. The fall started out with drier conditions allowing for some good grape development and then towards the mid and later part of the fall the rains returned. Overall a hot, humid and wet vintage that Mother Nature throws at us occasionally to test the fortitude of the growers and winemakers.
