Summer 2017

The 2017 vintage is off to a good start. Budbreak started early/mid March (later at higher elevations); bloom late May/early June. The Santa Cruz Mountains experienced a very wet winter with an incredible amount of rainfall – as much as 100″ and more in many locations. This has meant attention to floor management and weed control; and now, canopy management with healthy vine vigor. Fruit has set and crop loads look better than last year.
