Harvest Notes

  • 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
