The 2010 vintage started with a cool and fairly wet spring that remained mostly frost free. The late rains generated a healthy canopy, but one that required careful management to avoid green flavors. The cool spring evolved into an exceptionally cool summer, punctuated by a three-day heat spike in August which reduced yields in many varieties. September and October, however, were warm, giving us the ripeness we were waiting for, and we harvested the last of our Cabernet on October 27th.
