Vitis vinifera cultivar. This is one of a series of fourteen wine-grape varieties that Henry drew in the Napa Valley in the fall of 1974. The fourteen varieties were the ones used at that time by the Robert Mondavi Winery. The complete series of prints was exhibited at the winery in 1975. As Henry noted in one of our catalogs, “Out in the vineyard in late summer and early fall, the heat is very intense, and drawing can be both idyllic and very difficult, all at once. The growers were, without exception, very gracious about letting us tramp through their precious vineyards. To rhapsodize on the beauties of Napa Valley wine must be left to the winemakers and the connoisseurs; suffice it to say that we enjoyed the great beauty of the vineyards and the subtle flavors of the wine.” —Marsha Onomiya Evans
