Anticipating the 2023 Harvest: A Slow but Promising Start

The 2023 harvest season has commenced, albeit with a leisurely start. It wasn't until this past Wednesday that we saw the first grapes being plucked from the vines. In a departure from recent years, we had to wait approximately two weeks longer to begin our harvest from the historic Royal Tee Zinfandel block at Jessie’s Grove Vineyard, which has been rooted in soil since the 1880s.
