2010 Vintage Notes
The 2010 vintage was full of excitement, with record-breaking temperatures and an abundance of growing degree days (GDD)! Bud-break occurred earlier than usual with April’s temperatures rising into the mid-80s. With the perfect balance of rain and heat, and our diligent efforts of fruit-thinning and leaf-pulling, our grapes remained clean and developed to full ripeness near perfectly. As one of the warmest vintages the Finger Lakes had seen in nearly 40 years, the wines respond with beautiful fruit-focused concentration and strong depth and weight.
