Sean Capiaux, who spent four years at Peter Michael as assistant winemaker in the 1990s, (see my notes on his own pinot collection in this issue), has been winemaker here since the first vintage in 2000. He describes the 2006s here as riper than 2005. "As in 2005, the spring was wet and cool, but there was less vegetative vigor and ultimately a warmer growing season," he told me. The fruit in Betty O'Shaughnessy's Rancho del Oso Vineyard was picked late and very ripe, and the resulting wines are very deep and impressively concentrated-among the best produced on Howell Mountain. O'Shaughnessy also owns 15 acres of cabernet sauvignon and an acre of syrah on Mount Veeder, at an elevation of about 1,300 feet.
