The 2012 growing season in Napa Valley was about as perfect as it could be for grape growing. An abundance of evenly ripened grapes gave winemakers the opportunity to take only the best fruit. A mild spring led to a near perfect pageant of spring bud break, steady flowering, and even fruit set. A long stretch of perfect summer days of the kind that grapes love - wide temperature swings, from the low 50s at night to at least 85 degrees every day gave them a long, slow ripening process. Fall rains held off until the grapes were safely delivered to crush pads. This vintage will be remembered as one of the best ever for the Napa Valley.
