2014: 2014 was one of those rare vintages that got everyone excited—writers and winemakers
love the quality, grape growers had no handwringing to do and yields pleased bankers, which also
means customers will see reasonable prices! Wine quality is excellent, based on full ripeness,
probably the cleanest fruit we’ve seen in decades, and restrained extractions in fermentation to
compensate for the warmest growing season on record assure balance. Despite the warmth of
over 2800 degree days, driven by many very hot summer days (almost double the over 90F highs
we’ve recently seen at 29) and warmer lows, good cropload balance and harvest timing gave
reasonable alcohols, averaging just under 14%. Whites are lush and gorgeously fruited. Pinot noir
colors are appropriately rich but not too deep, wines not tannic or over-extracted.
