Vintage Notes

1994 saw a near perfect growing season, with moderate weather from bud break through bloom. A warm summer allowed the fruit to mature at an even pace; ripeness was perfect. Harvest began about a week late. Mild, even weather continued throughout harvest, resulting in superior quality fruit.
