| Growing Season Notes | The 2022 growing season had a late start with a cold, wet spring. However, the arrival of summer quickly put an end to that! Warm weather continued through October helping the fruit to ripen. Even though harvest occurred later than in previous years, it was a very bountiful one. |

| Growing Season Notes | A cool, wet spring led to a slow start of the 2019 growing season. The mild summer provided consistent, even ripening without extreme heat. An early frost brought an abrupt end to the season in Mid-October. But lower yields and a perfect summer brought out a complex, balanced and nuanced 2019 vintage. |
