The Napa Valley Grapegrowers analyzes the California Grape Crush Report, market trends, and Napa bottle prices in order to assist growers and wineries in contracting premium quality winegrapes.
A recommended price range has been determined, due to the diversity within Napa Valley's winegrape industry. Growers should take into consideration their relationship with the winery, the quality of the grapes, and the price of the bottle the grapes are going into. The prices recommended are not prices for future years, nor are they planting recommendations.
