We assessed the amount of primary bud kill resulting from the low temperature on February 16. Mortality was not severe and there were no major temperature fluctuations during the critical period. Grapevines were healthy going into winter with adequate wood weights during pruning. Samples were collected from the unpruned Foundation Vineyard and the unpruned Seyval Blanc in the Research Vineyard.
