Lime peel, passionfruit, green herbs, wet stone.

Winter delivered deep reserves of moisture, soaking soils that often exist on the edge of deficiency. Spring arrived cautiously, delaying budbreak and stretching the calendar just enough to make everyone glance nervously at their watches.

No dramatic heat spikes, no frantic harvest scrambles. Just long days of sunlight and the familiar comfort of cool desert nights that allow Cabernet Sauvignon to stretch its legs slowly and deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 150%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRipening took its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 150%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClusters darkened gradually.
