Product Notes:
Harvest Notes: The weather was ideal in 2004 with warm spring temperatures starting the season off two weeks ahead of normal. Budbreak occurred in early May and, although crop size was down, the vineyard looked good. These older vines are not vertically trained so we made a pass thru the vineyard to open up the canopy around the fruiting zone. Warm conditions prevailed thru the summer and the fruit was harvested in early October which, in this year, was near the end of the season.

Vineyard Description: Planted in 1973, Tench Vineyard is situated on the eastern edge of Oakville along the Silverado Trail. The area�s red, rocky soils of clay and volcanic rock have produced many famous Napa Valley Cabernets. Nickel & Nickel produces Cabernet from just four acres of this late-ripening vineyard with northwest exposure. The grapes rapidly develop color and flavor as temperatures rise and harvest approaches.
