Additional Information

The 2007 vintage began dry with some very cold days and single-digit nighttime temperatures in early January, and continued dry, with about 60% of normal precipitation through the spring. Temperatures were warmer than normal in April and May with resulting earlier budding, bloom and set. The summer growing season continued on the mild to cool side. There was a brief period of heat that spiked around Labor Day, but the temperatures cooled after several days. Clusters, as well as individual berries on the clusters were notably smaller and nicely concentrated in all varieties due to the dry season.
