With irrigation available to these vines planted in 1934, this vineyard weathered the Labor Day Weekend heatwave quite well.  Even after our aggressive sorting, both in the vineyard and at the winery, we were still able to produce a normal amount of this flagship wine.  Picked three times over a two-week period in the second half of September, each lot was cold soaked for five days before being pressed to French oak, an average of 25% new.  Unfined.  Unfiltered.
