Veraison Underway

 

002With all the heat this year, the growing season is moving right along; we are a little ahead of last year. This has been a very hot and dry July and August, but we have cooled slightly since the 15th and have been working hard to maintain moisture in the soil over the last few weeks.

We may want to take some initial Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc cluster samples sometime next week.  Information on veraison by block is available on the web site, along with a few recent pictures from the vineyard.
