Vineyard Update

Bud break has begun in the Stags Leap District, marking the official start of the growing season and the first step in the journey from vine to bottle—and the beginning of the 2026 vintage. Tiny green shoots are emerging from dormant vines, signaling the vineyard’s reawakening after winter and setting the stage for the months of growth ahead. This moment is both delicate and full of promise, as each new bud holds the potential for the wines of this new vintage.
