2015 Vintage Notes
Our statewide drought continued in 2015 and affected yields dramatically. The majority of our vineyards produced far less fruit than we expected but the upside was that the quality was incredible. 2015 might be small in terms of volume but it is of the highest caliber with great consistency across all appellations. Another vintage to make us all smile.
