BY RACHEL LERMAN Associated Press HEALDSBURG, Calif. — If you’re worried that wildfires might have created shortages of Northern California’s 2019 cabernet sauvignon, or even just imparted it with an undesirable smoky flavor, you can relax. The wine is just fine. For now. Despite a late October blaze that raged through one of the world’s best-known wine-growing regions. forcing evacuations in two midsized towns, wine production in Sonoma County escaped largely unscathed. Limerick Lane Wines, for instance, avoided serious damage despite flames that licked at two sides of its property in the Russian River Valley just south of Healdsburg. Limerick’s grapes were already harvested, crushed and stored in tanks and barrels. The winery’s sealed cel- lar prevented smoke damage to its inventory, said owner Jake Bilbro, although its tasting room now has an acrid smell. “I have to thank the people who planted our vineyards and built our house 100 years ago,” Bilbro said. “Our buildings are all surrounded by vineyards, and vineyards are excellent fire breaks.” Overall, vintners estimate that the region lost only about 5% of its harvest to fire and smoke — not a perfect outcome, but better than in 2017 when wildfire struck with only about 90% of the harvest in. The remaining grapes weren’t all lost, but that year’s vintages were rumored to have a “smoky” taste, and winemakers were taking no chances this year. Many in Sonoma, a sprawling county PHOTOS BY ERIC RISBERG/AP larger than Rhode Island located about an hour north of San Francisco, say they’re Partner Bret Munselle of Munselle Vineyards walks down the hillside where he lost about half of the young vines he had planted hoping that fires don’t become the new nor- before a fire raged through the upper part of his ranch in Geyserville, Calif., on Wednesday. mal.
