The wine brokerage firm Ciatti reports that Sonoma County’s pinot noir was the most variety affected by the 2020 fires.
As reported in Wine Business, the pinot harvest was about 36 percent less than that of 2019 and about half of what was harvest in 2018.
Merlot and zinfandel crops will be cut in half as well, but there aren’t as many of these grapes picked.
