The 2011 growing season was the coolest and longest on record. Similar to the 2010 vintage, 2011 began with a cool, wet spring that delayed flowering and lightened the crop set. The weather warmed up in mid-July, but temperatures remained moderate until late August. Veraison started late August, and extended well into September. The naturally low yields were then provided six weeks of consistently warm weather to help phenolic ripeness and flavor development. Overall, this vintage shows balanced and elegant wines with crisp natural acidity and fruit forward flavors.
