Summer was the second hottest since 1961, only being surpassed by 2003. Summer was also very dry. The harvest began on September 23, after an unusually cool month and ended on October 16 with the picking of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes arrived healthy due to the good weather and no rain, however, with yields well below projections.
