| Growing Season Notes |
Cabernet Sauvignon was the shining star in the 2015 growing season. A severe temperature fluctuation in November of 2014 inhibited the vines from reaching dormancy before a hard frost. Over 40% of the harvest in the Snake River AVA was lost. Cabernet Sauvignon exceeded expectations in both quality and yield. |

| Growing Season Notes |
2014 growing season was warmer than average for Idaho. The long, warm growing season ensured the ripeness of all varietals and the overall yields were elevated over previous seasons. A strong year for growing reds, particularly Bordeaux varietals. Cabernet Sauvignon displayed ripe blackberry notes with balanced acidity and firm tannin structure. |
