    Display omitted •Fourteen wines made from the identical clone were characterized.•Thirty elements in the wines were quantified with ICP-MS.•Nineteen elements showed reproducibility in wines from at least on 8 sites.•Vineyard origin and growing site factors are correlated with elemental profile. The reproducibility of elemental profile in wines produced across vintages of 2015 and 2016 has been studied using grapes from a single scion clone of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot noir. Grapevines were grown on fourteen different vineyard sites, from Oregon to southern California in the U.S.A., which span distances from approximately hundreds of meters to 1450 km, while elevations range from near sea level to nearly 500 m. The number of elements quantified in the wines made from the 2016 vintage was thirty, by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). These data were compared with the twenty-seven elements quantified and previously reported in wines made from 2015 vintage, including twenty-four elements reported in both vintages. The composition of each element was analyzed by analysis of variance with main effect of vineyard. Wines were classified according to vineyard origin and environmental growing site with a combination of factors correlated with the wine elemental profile. The low variability (< 25%) of certain elements in wines from at least eight sites across both vintages, including Group 1 (Cs, K, Na and Rb), Group 2 (Ba, Ca, Mg and Sr), Group 3B (Eu), Group 13 (Al, B and Ga), Group 15 (As and P) and Co, Fe, Mn, Ni and V, demonstrated the reproducibility over the seasons analyzed (2015 and 2016). The comparison of elemental profile of wines across growing seasons demonstrates the opportunity to reproduce one key aspect of wine chemistry across vintages.
