NEWS FROM THE VINEYARDS

The 2019 vintage continues to move at a rapid pace.  We are seeing Flowering and some Fruit Set.  For details on the weather, click HERE.

The Harvest is upon us!

Saturday, October 5th:  arrival of  Pinot Noir, Zinfandels and Sonoma Cab Franc 

All other varieties, please watch this space.

We still have some partial barrels available. Please email us at info@cawineworks.com if you are interested in participating in winemaking this  this Fall...all indications are pointing to yet another fabulous California Vintage!

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).
