2022 Zinfandel
Good winter rains at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 broke a three-year drought. A moderate spring followed. Summer weather was stable up until a very intense Labor Day heatwave—which was somewhat mitigated by mountain air in our estate vineyards. Light rains arrived mid-September. We harvested the Cabernet Franc on September 13 and the Zinfandel on September 21.
