Spring Mustard in Napa Valley - March 3, 2021

During spring the vineyards in Napa Valley become covered with wild mustard. Quantity and quality vary from year to year but this year was the best I've ever seen it. Old growth vineyards, typically untrussed, grow lower than newer vineyards and as a result a verdant mustard growth can completely take over a vineyard until it is cut down in March.
