V I N T A G ECalifornia was blessed by a stellar vintage in 2015. Despite drought conditions and a very early harvest, quality is exceptional. A mild winter fostered an early bud break and bloom, however, unseasonably cold spring temperatures followed which resulted in smaller berries and grape clusters. The warm and dry summer days hastened ripening and growers began picking in late July with all grapes in by the end of September – a very compact harvest season! Cabernet Sauvignon shows firm tannins, dense black fruit character and deep color.
