Heat was the key word in 2002," said winemaker Luc Morlet. It was the hottest vintage yet in my 12 years here.We were saved by our elevation, our cooler nighttime temperatures and good air circulation.Ultimately it was a matter of waiting to pick, of continually tasting the fruit."I found the set of young 2002 chardonnays to be among the finest to date at Peter Michael, which means that they're about as good as it gets in California. The 2002 vintage shows all the power and richness of California chardonnay," Morlet agrees. They're dry, minerally and rich, and should age well."
