PermalinkVintners' Holiday
And a wonderful time was had by all at the Vintners’ Holiday at the historic Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley offers wine tastings, seminars, and meals in one of the most beautiful settings in the world. In past lives, both of us attended this event and we were thrilled to be back with Dyer Cabernet. We featured a vertical tasting of our Diamond Mountain District estate Cabernet for our seminar. link here for more information on Vintners' Holidays.
Nov 16, 2005 at 12:59 PMHarvest at Dyer Vineyards... Finally!
Vintage 2005 - the Napa Valley experienced unseasonably warm weather in the early Spring. Temperatures of close to 80 degrees in late February and early March led to speculation of an early harvest. This was followed by a seemingly endless succession of cold rainstorms that have lasted throughout April and May and into June. It rained over 7” at Dyer Vineyard between May and the middle of June. The good news is that temperatures remained cool enough that mildew and botrytis (our two main fungal problems) did not take hold. Bloom was long and finished in the 2nd week of June. The weather remained slightly cooler than normal throughout August. Sept and October were perfect for ripening Cabernet- no heat spikes, no raisining, just perfectly even ripening. The crop was about average in the Diamond Mountain District and up about 15% in the valley. We think this may really be the vintage of the century!
