The upper rows of the vineyard are full of the black fruit flavors that run through our Cabernet vintages. The rain has washed off the dust, and given the lower elevation portion of the vineyard a chance to catch up. As soon as the ground dries up enough to get in with our small ATV’s we will be taking the first fruit of 2009 to the winery.
This may be one of those unusual years in which we pick the entire vineyard at one time. We will be tasting and testing fruit samples as soon as the sun comes out to determine where to start and how far down the hill to pick.
