Dr. Harold Olmo (b. July 31, 1909 -June 30, 2006) was a pioneering viticulturalist and professor at the University of California, Davis where he created ...
This new variety â12-76-71â is new and different because of its unusual berry flavor (muscat) combined with bright red coloration and seedless (stenospermic) berries.
A new and distinct variety 9-9-12 of the vinifera grape, comparable to Thompson Seedless as a dessert fruit and of similar quality for fresh consumption. The improvements in this invention appear to be very large berry size and more attractive berries after gibberellin treatment, and as well as extension of the harvesting season of fresh seedless grapes.

Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of grapevine of the vinifera species having the general characteristics of the commercial Emperor but differing in the following important attributes: Earlier coloring and maturity of the fruit, a much brighter red color, essentially seedless with only soft greenish rudiments present, and similar to Emperor in shipping and cold storage qualities.

Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of grapevine capable of producing late harvest red table grapes similar to the Emperor variety but which is superior to Emperor in its heavier and more regular cropping and in its greater uniformity of color, largeness of berry size and better palatability.
A new and distinct variety of grapevine producing fruit of dark red to black coloration which is mature for harvesting and shipment approximately two weeks after the "Thompson Seedless" grapevine and is of large size and possessing an exceptional ability to retain its freshness and flavor long after harvest and in cold storage.

Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of grapevine of the vinifera species, named `Symphony`, having the ability to produce either a light and dry white table wine characterized by a delicate Muscat-type aroma and flavor when harvested before full maturity or a natural sweet wine when picked more mature. The wine is very slow to oxidize and retains its typical aroma and flavor even after long periods of aging. The usual bitterness associated with Muscat-type varieties made as dry wines is not evident in the new variety.

Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of grapevine of the vinifera species characterized by its early ripening, greater production of sugar and less total acidity than French Colombard. The new variety is useful for production of white table wine but more particularly for distillation and production of high-quality brandy.

Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of grapevine rootstock is provided. It is characterized by its immunity to feeding by the nematode vector of grapevine fanleaf virus and to feeding by phylloxera. When grafted with scion cultivars, such as `Cabernet Sauvignon,` `Chenin blanc,` and `Carignane,` the variety may be planted in soil contaminated with viruliferous nematodes and/or phylloxera and will produce healthy fruit and excellent yields.
