Description

James and Carlton McCoy discuss the 2021 harvest in Napa. Carlton says there were small yields and small berries, although that didn't stop anyone from making some fantastic wines. Carlton also explains how he got involved in the wine business with the Lawrence family – from their purchase of Heitz and how he started a "beautiful new chapter of his life" by becoming the wine director, to their takeover of classical estates like Stony Hill and Burgess Cellars. They also talk about the winemaking and vineyard management processes at Heitz, Stony Hill and Burgess, and what it takes to put greatness in a bottle.
