With three consecutive afternoons marked by 110-degree temperatures in mid-August and two subsequent heat spikes, 2010 cannot really be considered a classic vintage, said winemaker Aron Weinkauf, but it was still a cooler year.The alcohol in the finished estate cabernet is just over 14%, or a bit lower than average for this wine.The 2011 will be 13.9%, which Beth Novak Milliken told me was the lowest since 1999 or 2000.There were three days of rain in mid-October followed by two cooler, breezy days, but then a warm rainy day triggered an outbreak of rot.The estate harvested before another three inches of rain fell in early November.
