Putting the LATE in Late Harvest Wine

Harvest 3

The Wait is Over! We began picking our Dolce vineyard in southeastern Napa Valley on Monday, November 30, making it the latest harvest start date in our 30-year history.

After months of waiting, our Semillon is purple, shriveled and covered with a fuzzy, grey mold, just like our winemaker likes it. Sound crazy? Maybe a little, but when conditions are just right, those ugly grapes remarkably transform into the exquisite late harvest wine we’ve come to refer to as Liquid Gold.
