According to associate winemaker Rich Arnold, the 2004 growing season was cooler than 2003 and 2002. "We had a wet spring, which led to more vigorous vines, and thus the ripeness took longer to come," said Arnold. "On the other hand, we had less dehydration of the fruit in September." For cabernet, Arnold added, "2005 is denser, broader and riper, with great sweetness."
