The 1998 growing season featured uneven ripening, according to Doug Shafer, but the cabernet sauvignon fared better than the merlot, as the crop level was lower due to shatter during the period of the flowering. The harvest was even later than that of '99, as there was no burst of heat that might have hastened ripening. Maceration times were reduced for the winery's reds, as there were a lot of green seeds in the grapes in '98.
