Tonight we took a walk through to see how our efforts to shoot and leaf thin on Monday paid off 5 days later. Things are looking pretty good. No sign of pests – clusters are looking healthy and medium vigor on most of our vines.

It’s June 8th. Our efforts to prevent any fungus from developing is paying off so far.
Chardonnay report: Very good vigor 4 – 10 clusters per vine average. Clusters measure approximately 1-2” in length.
Pinot Noir Report: Medium – Good Vigor (much better than last year) 4 – 6 clusters per vine averaging in size at approximately 1 – 1 1/2” in length.
Take a walk through the vineyard with us.
Here’s how we stir the lees and the oak chips during Malolactic Fermentation of the Pinot Noir. It’s a power drill attachment with plastic blades attached at the end to mix it up. Works great.
