2009: The 2009 vintage may be one of the best, with nice balance in all ways for both reds and
whites—very good quality and yields as well as good ripeness and acids. The closest vintage in
memory might be 2002. It was the type of vintage to satisfy winemakers AND accountants, with
yields in the 2.5–3 tons/acre average this year, compared to 2–2.5 in normal years, and with high
quality demanding only patience awaiting flavor development. Fruitfulness caused some problems
early on, with large berries and full clusters pushing off berries in the cluster, allowing earlyharvested
blocks to develop botrytis and require sorting. Later blocks were pristine and, assuming
patience (and if nothing else, we’re patient!) to await flavor development rather than picking on
simple analytical numbers like TA and brix, will be as good as any wines we’ve made, especially for
Pinot Noir.
