(February 10, 2020, Novato, CA) – We’ll never know how big this crush could have been!! The California Department of Food and Agriculture Preliminary Grape Crush Report for 2019 was released today. The 2019 Harvest size rivals the 2014 harvest and is the second smallest harvest since 2011. While not good news for farmers it is welcome respite for an industry under pressure from oversupply and weak case goods demand. While most all thought the harvest could the largest ever “unpicked fruit” are the words of the day! Of note: red wine grapes were down 12.8% while white grapes were only down 4.3%, indicating that varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel may have been the varietals left on the vine! Ciatti’s experienced brokers will be available for further details, comments & analysis on the 2018 California Grape Crush Report. Please call 415-458-5150. Cabernet Sauvignon was most surprising: many thought this was going to be the first year that Cabernet Sauvi
