New Releases If you haven't had a chance to visit the winery lately, you need to come up and sample some of the new releases. The 2008 Dry Riesling is tasting fantastic with an wonderfully bright palate, perfect for the summer season. And if barbequing is one of your passions, you'll want to taste the new 2006 Shiraz/Cabernet. Full-bodied and rich with an incredible integration of Syrah fruit and Cabernet complexity, this wine is perfect with grilled tri-tip and homemade burgers! We look forward to seeing you here! News from the Vineyard We have just finished flowering in the vineyards, and so far, the set looks very good. The "set" is how many little grape flowers actually turned into grapes. Weather conditions can severly impact the set, with temperature extremes and wet weather being a major concern. Even though our temperatures have been cool (not cold), and we've had a shower or two, the crop load is looking good. We will now turn our attention to how many clusters of grapes we need to drop onto the ground in order to balance the vines. Sometimes it seems like baby sitting, but that's farming. We'll keep you up to date, and keep your fingers crossed for nice, moderate weather! |
