The secret to complex and interesting flavor in grapes is a combination of two things-the right vineyard site and long hanging fruit. Leaving fruit to hang is tougher in a warm vintage year like 2015 since sugars run so high, however, we allow for a slightly larger crop yield to slow down the ripening process. Overall, 2015 was very
similar to 2014 with a lot of fruit and a warmer vintage. Grapes were picked as early as September 12th, a very early pick date. The warm days and cool nights in September and early October helped to deliver great flavor and high acidity. We were pleased with all our fruit with the final grapes of 2015 harvest delivered on October 10th.
