The stretch from bloom to veraison was particularly long in 2017, allowing for wonderful character development in the grapes. This is another vintage of stellar quality fruit fromNapa. Progressively warmer temperatures fully ripened the Chardonnay, but our timely harvest brought the grapes in before the heat spike and kept sugar levels in check.
