2016 GROWING SEASON
“The 2016 growing season in Napa, California, showcased the region’s unique terroir and vintners’ expertise. Napa Valley, known for its exceptional wines, experienced an ideal weather pattern that year. A wet winter replenished the soil with water reserves for the vines, followed by a mild and consistent bud break in spring.
Mt. Veeder’s higher elevation, cooler temperatures, and volcanic soils allowed for a longer growing season, promoting balanced vine growth and exceptional grape flavor development. Winemakers carefully nurtured the fruit through the warm summer months, resulting in wines that capture the essence of Mt. Veeder—rich flavors, structured tannins, and a true reflection of the region’s terroir.”
