Winemaker Ted Mostero described the 2006 growing season as presenting "an almost ideal profile": cold, wet weather in early spring; a late budbreak; a very hot July featuring ten days with temperatures over 100degrees; and then a mild August and September. "We don't irrigate, and the conditions in 2006 were perfect for dry farming," he told me. "Those who watered their vines in July could have caused the berries to expand." The summer of 2007 also featured a relatively cool July and August, Mostero went on, but then a heat spike began on August 29, and there was another period of heat toward the end of September that helped to finish off the ripening process. Incidentally, Dominus began using a Mistral sorting machine in 2007 to eliminate dried berries at harvest-time.
