The 2017 vintage will not be soon forgotten. The all-time precipitation record was set by mid-April as rain swept like waves over the North Coast, filling all lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. As the rain clouds subsided and the sun appeared, the vineyards in the Russian River Valley endured six different heat waves at or above 100°F, including a memorable one on Labor Day at 110°F. They harvested the fruit from August 30 through September 30. Barrel fermentation in new and seasoned French oak added toasty vanilla and spice complexities. During the twelve months of barrel aging, they regularly stirred the "lees" in the barrel, which imparts an elegant fullness and creamy texture on the palate.
