Napa Valley Harvest 2011

The story of the 2011 Napa Valley wine grape harvest as told by wineries throughout the valley.

  1. November 8th: Napa Valley wraps up harvest. Tim Mondavi says "wine is the beverage of generosity."
  2. October 28th - November 3rd: As October came to an end, harvest neared completion for many across the valley...And likely not a moment too soon as rain was once again in the forecast for late in the week.
  3. Rain, stay away until 11 am. Schweiger finishes picking this am! #smda #NVHarvest
  4. Many #Napa vineyard crews are bringing in the last of the gorgeous 2011 fruit this week! #NVharvest pic.twitter.com/NLg4UGER
  5. While this is the last of this year's fruit #NVHarvest is not quite over. This is one for the history books! fb.me/xE7eVulQ
  6. The final stretch: All Cabernet ripe with faboo flavors and ready to come in...now we have to beat the rain! #SMDA #NVHarvest
  7. We are finishing of the #NVHarvest with a bang. Couple more blocks of #Cabernet and then we are done!
  8. Harvest is 97% over for us, and the last bit of Cab on the vine is enjoying warm days, cool nights (but no frost) and thankfully no rain.

  10. What's this? I get to spend the middle of the day with my family? SWEET! Can see the light at the end of #NVHarvest
  11. Quiet day in the cellar - just checking all our fermentations ....pumpovers. I love this quiet time after it is all picked.
