"We harvested early in 2008," Andy Smith told me, "with healthy acidity and before any problems with heat spikes from an Indian summer." Smith said that he's wary of battonage with chardonnay because "if the fruit was healthy and ripe then there should be plenty of richness in there already. Better to let it work itself out; that's what all the vineyard work of the year was for." He said that he would far rather err on the side of picking pinot a little too early than a little too late: "I'd much prefer to make an herbal wine than a raisined one," he explained.
