As the dust settles on another Napa Valley harvest, we find ourselves reflecting on the countless decisions that shape each vintage. When to pick, when to wait, when to trust our instincts, and when to let the vineyard tell us it’s ready.

This year, Cabernet Franc was nothing short of extraordinary. Beautiful concentration, vibrant aromatics, and remarkable depth have us especially excited about what’s resting in the cellar.

Harvest may be behind us, but the story of this vintage is just beginning. Every decision made in the vineyard and w**ery will reveal itself in the w**es yet to come.

The best way to understand our w**es is to experience where they begin. Come visit us at Ballentine Vineyards, walk among the vines, taste our Cabernet Franc, and discover what makes this corner of Napa Valley so special.

The 2026 vintage is still taking shape, but there’s plenty to celebrate in the glass today. Book your tasting, pull up a chair, and let us share our passion for Cabernet Franc with you. 🍷

What a welcome in Portage Wisconsin. Thank you Bernie Wong for hosting such a great party and allowing us to put our w**es. Such on honor to be included in a wonderful evening. Cheers to new friends.

Fall might just be our favorite time of year in Napa Valley. 🍂🍷🎃

Harvest is winding down, the vineyards are beginning to change colors, the days are getting a little cooler—and our pumpkin patch is ready for picking.

After a busy grape harvest, we’re trading grape bins for pumpkins and enjoying one of the best seasons to visit w**e country. There’s something pretty special about sipping w**e among the vines while fall settles into the Napa Valley.

Come visit us, taste the new season in the cellar, and enjoy a little bit of fall at the w**ery.

And yes… the pumpkins are officially harvested! 🎃

Looking back on another harvest in the Napa Valley, it’s easy to see the finished w**es—but harder to see all the work that went into getting them there.

Harvest is early mornings and long days. It’s walking vineyards, tasting berries, watching the weather, cleaning equipment, moving bins, sorting fruit, making countless decisions, and doing it all again the next day.

For months, our vineyard and w**ery teams have poured an incredible amount of energy into this vintage. Every cluster that made its way into the cellar represents a season of farming, patience, teamwork, and attention to detail.

Now, as the pace finally begins to slow and the w**es settle into the cellar, we get a chance to look back and appreciate everything it took to get here.

Dirty boots. Tired hands. Long days. Great fruit. And another Napa Valley harvest in the books.

Cheers to the people who make it happen.

As harvest begins to wind down here in Napa Valley, the story of the vintage is becoming clear: small yields, intense fruit, and incredible concentration.

The crop may be lighter than usual, but what came into the w**ery was packed with character—beautiful color, concentrated flavors, and the kind of intensity that has us excited about what’s developing in the cellar.

After months of walking vineyards, watching the weather, tasting berries, and making picking decisions, there’s something special about seeing the last fruit come through the w**ery doors.

Less fruit. More intensity. And a vintage we can’t wait to follow from barrel to bottle.

Cheers to another Napa Valley harvest. 🍷

The days are getting a little shorter, but patio season isn’t over yet. 🍷☀️

There’s something about a Napa Valley afternoon this time of year. Warm sunshine, a little breeze, vineyard views and a glass of something refreshing in hand.

Pour a chilled Ballentine Chenin Blanc, Rosé or Sparkling Malvasia Bianca and settle in for those last long afternoons outside. Because we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer just yet. 😉

Win is pulling out the big guns for our events. Always fun to share some of the special w**es to us at our annual events. The Pocai Cabernet Sauvignon was a huge hit at this one.

We harvested our Malvasia Bianca last week. Our favorite grape to eat on the property, it’s always a little sad when we pick it and no longer have our favorite tasting room snack.

On a side note. We changed pruning on the younger block this year, with the goal of letting a little more fruit hang. Yields have been low in various years. It worked. We had a bountiful 2026 crop and it looked wonderful.

Happy Harvest!
