Lee Martinelli describes '99 as a cooler, longer growing season, a bit like '97 but with a smaller crop load, owing to a cold spring and cool, windy weather at bloom. "There wasn't a lot of sunshine, but there was more than in '98," he adds. "Chardonnay at the coast really struggled to ripen but eventually got there. The wines have good acidity and should age well."
