State of California Vineyards

San Rafael, Calif.—After the announcement last week that veraison is happening in some Napa Valley vineyards, Wines & Vines asked sources in other areas how their grapes are faring so far this summer. Veraison has also begun in the vast Paso Robles region. At Halter Ranch in the Adelaida District, vineyard manager Lucas Pope reported that it is just starting, with colour on about 10% of the ranch, putting it on par with 2015, or about 3 weeks earlier than average.
