2023 Vintage Field Notes
Hunter Glenn give us an update on the 2023 vintage in Napa Valley!
The brother & sister team from Hunter Glenn here in Napa Valley, met up with us in their estate vineyard in St. Helena to give us an update from mid-valley! As veraison takes place all over Napa Valley, winemaking teams are starting to prepare for harvest!
Side by side with last year’s vintage – same vine, same date
