Additional information:
The 2008 vintage was a rollercoaster ride. Late winter and spring were unusually dry, then a killer frost struck in April, forcing many growers to use their already scarce water supplies for a protective spray of water on the vines. Some of the old growers said it was the worst frost they’d seen since 1972. Summer itself was typically moderate and warm, and harvest got off to an early start in August, with many varieties ripening at the same time. We were lucky and did not get any damage from the frost earlier in the year and our grapes did not get damaged from the heat back in May. The grapes were harvested on October 9th, 2008 from a single vineyard in Dry Creek Valley for the total of about 3 tons with 25 degrees Brix sugar. After cold soak the wine was fermented in an open top fermentor for the total of ten days. After pressing the wine was racked to barrels and aged for 21 months in 36% new European oak barrels.
