Low winter rainfall was followed by a warmer than average spring and summer, making for a shorter than normal growing season. As a result, across California fruit matured faster and was picked earlier. In Paso Robles berry size was was smaller than average, helping to create rich fruit flavors and well-structured tannins. Fruit from Napa Valley added depth of color and well balanced acidity, while fruit from the red soils of the Lodi foothills provided minerality. After fermentation, the wine was aged in 25% new French oak and 75% 2-year-old American oak.
