2013 proved to be another record harvest in Napa Valley. We enjoyed consistently superb weather, which ultimately resulted in optimal fruit ripeness. Very minimal rainfall from January through March brought an earlier than usual budbreak. April provided a few small rainstorms to quench the vines, and warm weather followed. With just one heat spike in late June and early July, the growing season provided weather for excellent flavor development in the grapes, resulting in an early and rewarding harvest.
