2021 Started off with very little rain, leading to drought conditions in Napa Valley.  The winter delivered a scant amount of rain in January and February and then almost nothing after that. While this lack of moisture had the effect of limiting the amount of fruit that the vines were ready to procuce, the lack of adverse weather also meant that  both bud break and flowering proceeded uneventfully.  While concerning in the long term, the drought of 2021 resulted in a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit.  The summer was marked by no significant heat events, unlike other recent vintages, allowing for smooth and even ripening.
