Vineyard & Harvest Notes

  • Meadowrock Vineyard
  • Soil Type: Volcanic, Rocky Loam
  • Harvest Date: October 5, 2021
  • Napa Green Winery
  • The 2021 vintage will be remembered for low yields of intensely-aromatic, flavorful fruit, with a smooth and uneventful harvest season.
  • January and February saw rain, then almost no notable precipitation for flower, bloom and set.
  • Grapes ripened early and evenly during a summer with no heat spikes.

 

The soils in Atlas Peak are predominantly volcanic. This type of soil stresses the vines, resulting in smaller grape clusters with intense flavors and high tannin levels.

Atlas Peak AVA

  • One of Napa Valley’s highest elevation AVAs, ranging from 1400-2600′ feet above sea level.
  • The soils in Atlas Peak are predominantly volcanic, which are well-drained and relatively low in fertility. This type of soil stresses the vines, resulting in smaller grape clusters with intense flavors and high tannin levels.
  • Due to its higher elevation, the area experiences more sunlight and less fog than the valley floor, leading to a longer growing season.
