"The winter of 1996 was one of the driest in a decade, and the tail end of a seven-year drought resulted in very low yields. The growing season was cold at first but presented good growth conditions by flowering and fruit set, which enabled the scant number of bunches to fill out well. Temperatures were a bit warmer than average throughout the ripening season, which prompted early sugar accumulation in the grapes, and the fruit reached the winery in very good, healthy condition. The wines from this vintage truly reflect the season’s conditions, with ripe fruit, tremendous concentration on the palate, and well ripened tannins." - Winemaker Notes Show more
