2008 HARVEST IN THE BARREL
The year started out with one of the driest Winter-Spring seasons on record where almost no rain fell after February. The Spring growing season was very cool with a relatively late flowering. Heading into harvest season we had both warm and very cool weather. All of the grapes were brought in at ideal ripeness, so we should see some big wines out of this vintage.

We are excited to announce a collaboration between Big Basin Vineyards, Shakti Yoga Shala, and award-winning sommelier Christie Dufault. The first two Yoga in the Vineyards events to be held at the winery will be on May 31st and July 25th. More information...
