Chardonnay, 2003

2003 was one of the coolest growing seasons in recent history. The season began with rain followed by a stretch of dry cold weather; however, this did not impact the vines. Bud break, bloom, and veraison still occurred at the same time as in previous years. The time following veraison is most critical for the ripening of the fruit, and in 2003 it was very mild. Grapes ripened more slowly and produced rich ripe flavors ideal for more complex wines. Following the summer was a heat spike during the Labor Day period which sped up ripening. Due to this cool start and spike in temperature, the wines had ripe flavors and good acidity. Harvest was completed by early October.
