As the challenges of difficult growing seasons fade with time, two things happen. First, in the memory of winemakers, rain events magically become less extreme: the actual torrential rainfall that plagued a harvest shrinks to moderate precipitation and eventually to a vague recollection of moisture. Freakishly cool or brutally hot harvest weather or damaging hail storms are virtually forgotten, as the body has a short memory for pain. At the same time, as the wines themselves mature and are transformed, they reveal themselves to be less extreme after all, until at some point it can be next to impossible to find the insanity of the vintage in the bottle. I’ve seen these patterns play out again and again in temperate wine-growing areas like Bordeaux, Burgundy and northern Italy—and even in normally hot, bone-dry growing regions. Two thousand eight was such a year for California’s North Coast.

SLOAN ESTATE is one of the most striking properties in Napa Valley. Over the years, this pristine hillside site has yielded a number of stunning wines. Earlier in the year, Stuart Sloan sold the estate to the Goldin Group, a Hong Kong based conglomerate. I was quite surprised when Goldin's Chairman, Mr. Pan Su-Tong and long-time winemaker Martha McClellan decided to show me every vintage of Sloan Estate. Needless to say, it was a great tasting with many highlights, including the stellar 2002 and 2007. Most important of all though, the wines are proving they have the pedigree to age well. Readers who want to get a look at the 2011 harvest at Sloan Estate may want to take a look at the video I shot with Martha McClellan during crush.
