I was reading about how South Seattle Community College is given some of the grapes from St. Michele's estate in Woodinville to make wine and there was this reference:

"A few vines of Campbell’s Early, also known as island belle, now are planted near the bus-parking area. In the late 1800s, more than 300 acres of island belle were established on Stretch Island near the Kitsap Peninsula town of Belfair. A few acres still remain on the island. These vines were once used by St. Charles Winery (Washington’s first winery, also on Stretch Island) until it closed in the 1960s."

21 year old vines are old vines?
