Vintage 2024:
The Napa Valley 2024 vintage is shaping up to be quite promising, despite some challenging weather conditions earlier in the season. A record-breaking heatwave in July caused concerns, with temperatures soaring over 100°F, but the effects were mitigated by the region's wet winter and strategic vineyard management. Overall, 2024 looks set to deliver exceptional wines.
Now is the time to sign up for Fall Winemaking. Reach out to us directly regarding availability.
California Level Cabernet, Merlot : Looks like we could be 2-3 weeks out. More to come but probably crushing before the end of September.
Zinfandel – Sonoma and Napa: Same as above. Looking like end of September to start.
Pinot Noir: Typically on the same timing as the Zinfandel, so stay tuned.
Everything Else: Napa, Sonoma, Cab, Syrah, Malbec Chardonnay, etc. Still looking for more news but feeling like first or second week of October.
How We Work
Winemaker News - 2024
How We Work
We are based on the California Harvest cycle so we get most of our fruit in early to mid October.
We sell 3 different quality levels of fruit. We have branded them California, Sonoma and Napa (think good, better, best).
At each quality level, we sell quarter, half and full barrels. At the Napa level we have American and French Oak options. The entire process takes about
a year to complete (think October - for the Crush & Press, to the following August/September for Bottling).
