In 2006, record heat in July along with October rain shut down the vines, lengthening the ripening time. Precise Vineyard practices were used during thinning and leafing allowing the grapes to ripen well. Slow ripening produced wine with gorgeous aromas and perfectly balanced acidity. This elegant wine is the result.
