La Reina Cab Estate 2019

Notes from the Winemaker: Fortunately, the winter of 2019 yielded “normal” rainfall of 30-35” in Napa Valley; the last “good” winter in recent memory. Spring was late but mild and the Bordeaux varieties set a normal crop of 3-4 tons/acre. Mild and even weather continued throughout the summer with a couple of short heat spikes. Veraison started on time in early August and harvest weather was rather cool but uneventful.
