VINEYARDS & VINTAGE

2015 was a vintage of extremes and was amongst the earliest vintages in many years. Spring arrived early and kick-started vine growth, resulting in an advanced harvest timetable. A cold wet spell interfered with flowering thereby reducing the crop size. The small berries ripened early and yielded concentrated wines.

Surber Vineyard is situated near the Palisades, northeast of Calistoga. The sandy soils slope northwest toward the mouth of Jericho Canyon. The adjacent mountains encourage daytime breezes which mitigate the typical warmth of the northern valley and promote a longer growing season.
