Vintners and growers around the state of California are heralding the excellent quality of the 2013 vintage, nearly identical to the previous year's growing season. Many experienced moderate winter rains, limited amount of night frosts in the spring and few significant heat spikes in the summer - truly ideal conditions leading up to harvest. The long and sunny summer rewarded growers with extended hang time needed for flawless grape maturity. Winemakers across the board noted that fruit showed great balance and acidity, improved color intensity, good tannin structure and most importantly, rich and complex flavor profiles.
