1991
was one of the best vintages of a great decade for California. Flowering conditions were ideal,
promising a large crop of evenly maturing grapes. The harvest took place under
perfect conditions in an excellent, unbroken Indian summer. This allowed for
extended maturation of the grapes which resulted in more complex and structured
wines. “What makes 1994, 1997, 1991, and
to a lesser extent 1995 the four finest vintages of the decade is the fact that
the wines are rich yet approachable, aromatic, with wonderful sweet, rich,
multi-layered textures, ripe, well-integrated tannin, and low acidity. The
wines have been approachable since conception, yet continue to indicate that
they will be long-lived classics of remarkable symmetry and opulence.”
