2014 Napa Valley<br />

Cabernet Sauvignon<br />

The 2014 vintage followed the dry 2013 growing season. Hardly a<br />

drop of rain fell <strong>du</strong>ring winter and everyone was very nervous for<br />

what the year would bring. How happy they all were to see a couple<br />

of perfectly timed rainstorms in the spring. This helped the canopies<br />

develop fully which, in turn, gave them plenty of plant energy to<br />

ripen another solid crop. The moderate summer and fall weather<br />

helped bring in extremely high quality grapes <strong>with</strong> good yield.<br />
