As at so many California wineries, Matanzas Creek crushed more fruit in '97 than ever before-in fact, a good 25% more than their previous high. But then production in the previous two years was reduced by nature: in '96 sauvignon blanc yields in particular were affected by a difficult flowering, while in '95 a June hailstorm cut the estate merlot crop in half. I will publish the results of a vertical tasting of the superb Matanzas Creek merlot in the next issue.
