VINTAGE 2013
Lake and
Mendocino
counties
Good yields and exceptional quality.
Chardonnay and Zinfandel crops
were large; Pinot Noir was down.
Weather: Warm spring, average summer, fairly dry at harvest. Not too
much extended heat.
Pests/diseases: Virginia creeper leafhopper continues to be a
problematic new pest, particularly
for organic and Biodynamic
grapegrowers.
Supply/demand: Some oversupply
due to high yields.
Challenges: Tank space was a problem in some wineries.
Varieties: Overall good harvest,
lots of ripe fruit, good wines in the
pipeline.
