This year's growing season was actually pretty nice. We had a beautiful springtime, great temperatures during springtime. Bud break and bloom, which is really when those grapes get formed and those clusters develop on the vine. We had some heat in July. We were probably averaged about 95 to 98 degrees. We had a couple of weeks it was over 100 for quite a while.

Yeah. Absolutely. So for Silver Oak, our goal is to produce a wine that you can open up and drink. It's very enjoyable. It's smooth. The tannins have mellowed. There's still a little bit of fruit there, especially with this one only being four years old. It just should be enjoyable to drink. It shouldn't be harsh. and it should age for another 10 to 15 years depending on the vintage.
