用于起泡酒的酿酒葡萄是最先成熟的，起泡酒的生产商玛姆纳帕酒庄已经开始了收割。接下来成熟的将是用于酿制白葡萄酒的葡萄，之后则是酿制红葡萄酒的葡萄，这是根据不同葡萄品种的不同成熟期而决定的。纳帕谷的葡萄采收将在今年10月底结束。

Next will come white wine grapes, and then red wine grapes, with different grape varieties coming in at different times. Napa Valley’s harvest will be finished by the end of October.
本次生长季曾出现了温暖与凉爽气温交替变化的现象，这导致了不同葡萄园、地区，甚至是同一棵葡萄树上的葡萄成熟度产生了差异。幸运的是，纳帕谷的葡萄养护都是通过手工完成的，因此葡萄园管理者可以通过修剪葡萄串上的叶子等方法来确保葡萄得到了充分的光照，从而创造出葡萄成熟的最佳条件 。
This growing season has seen alternating warm and cool temperatures, contributing to considerable variation in fruit maturity between vineyards, blocks and even different clusters on the same vine.?
