Description
"1998 was the fourth bumper vintage in a row, despite an unpromising growing season characterized by roller- coaster weather from start to finish. The harvest was ultimately saved by the return of the sun in September, yielding an abundant crop of excellent quality Indeed, a return to sunny, windy weather around September 15 allowed the ripening process to resume and the vintage began in most parts, shortly thereafter. Staggered picking helped us select for ripe fruit. Quality and quantity of the harvest surpassed expectations with grapes showing good health, sugar and acid levels." - Vintage Note
