Stay humble, stack sats, enjoy life image
Last fermentation of the year. Wild yeast fermented Mourvèdre from our estate vineyard. This vineyard is 5 years old and has never been sprayed. And now with our sheep flock doing all the weed control. The only time a tractor entered this vineyard was for harvest. Yes, a single tractor pass the whole year! image

Petit Verdot and Mourvèdre pick scheduled for later this week. The fall weather is here and slowing the ripening a bit. The end of harvest is in sight image
GM. . . Wine tank pump over. #mesmerizing #fermentation #good juice
Pump over time. Petite sirah at the peak of fermentation. We pump over the juice from below the β€œcap” to irrigate the wine over the top to make sure everything stays wet and fermenting evenly. This also allows for a little bit of oxygen and some of the fermentation heat to be blown off to help keep things cool. image
Prune harvest is underway. image
GM….Cab Franc for your wake up call. You are looking at a current temperature of 59 degrees and today is going to be clear and sunny with a high of 88 degrees. image
Always fresher at night. We even had a brief thunder storm with some wild lightning, just enough ran to knock the dust down, great way to welcome in September. #herecomesfall image
