The start of the 2017 growing season brought with it welcomed rains and an end to a six-year drought in California. With our reservoirs filled to their brinks, our soils drank in the water in preparation for the summer ahead. A seasonally mild summer maintained steady, even temperatures through August and then—as if fully aware of the holiday that celebrates the hard work that makes America tick—harvest quickly kicked off after a heat spike on Labor Day. A cooling period just prior to the outbreak of the Napa Valley October fires allowed for tannins that were easily extracted and wines that are rich, round and very well-structured—classic characteristics of Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignons. Here in the District, we are grateful that the vast majority of our harvest was completed when the fires broke out and the wines safe.
