In 2001, the temperatures cooled down during the second half of the summer, and the harvest for red grapes was spread out over an extended period," said assistant winemaker Nile Zacherle. For the estate cabernet in particular, we were able to wait for every block to ripen to its full potential."

Assistant winemaker Nile Zacherle described the 2000 vintage as a slow-ripening, large vintage with a relaxed harvest. The fruit managed to retain acidity well. In 1999, in contrast, the ripeness of clusters was less regular, and there was a stampede to pick." I was surprised to learn that the '99 was only racked a total of three times, which Zacherle explained was "to preserve fruit and avoid drying the tannins. We used to rack more in the '80s because the tannins were tougher then, less ripe and sweet." Beginning in 2000, Montelena is rapidly shifting to whole-cluster fermentation of chardonnay, which Zacherle says eliminated the need to fine the 2000. In '99, all of the chardonnay grapes were crushed, in 2000 the wine was fermented with 45% whole clusters, and in 2001 with 75%.
