Growing Conditions
A wet spring continued with rainfall into mid-June
that delayed bloom and then set the stage for a long,
cooler-than-average season. With a few high heat
events occurring during August the growers managed
to open vine canopies to ensure sunlight, warmth and
good air circulation around the grape clusters.
