Some normalcy in Napa Valley’s Coombsville AVA. 58 degrees this morning at Terra Solis Vineyard. Overcast and foggy is what we expect and we are happy to see it! The grapes are happy, too. Cabernet sauvignon / clone 337 on 3309 rootstock.

A beautiful morning and breathtaking views from Wildwood Vineyards. The family property - Arthur Kunde & Sons, Inc., which we have represented portions of since 2018 - sits within Sonoma Valley and Moon Mountain District AVAs. Driving through, the varieties are chardonnay, old vine zinfandel, and then Bordeaux varieties (cabernet sauvignon, petite verdot mainly) in the distance. Need ?

Happy Friday/harvest! It may be National Tequila Day, but we’re thinking about brandy. Started harvesting Fiestas for brandy in the Central Valley! Over 1 1/2 weeks earlier than last year. Things are starting to mature quickly across the board, with early indicators that it’s a lighter crop than last year.
