2005 Harvest Analysis
The weather in 2005 was outstanding, up through the middle of October. There was very little winter kill, and no late frost damage. After a long, cool spring, the weather turned dry in July and stayed that way until Fall. We brought in most of the whites and about half of the reds before the rains started in mid-October and never let up. Our harvest numbers are shown below.
