MCV FARM NEWS - 9.29.09 - Harvest Cometh...

Hey ya'll,
 
       Well, it is that time of year again!  Thus far we have safely in the winery some Sauvignon Blancand Pinot Noir.  We also have all of the Pinot Grigio.  This upcoming week we will finish picking the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.  The remaining Sauv. Blanc and Pinot Noir look awesome!!!  I am really excited about the Pinot Noir this year.  The other whites are hanging nicely and will possibly hang for another week or two!  The flavors thus far are great and I am very excited about the quality of what has been coming in. 
      The reds are hanging nicely and have at least another month or so before they come in.  I am hopeful that the reds will come around in the next month or so.  Flavor development is starting to happen in the reds, but we just need more sun to help finish them out in the coming weeks. 
      One of the most common questions asked is how we decide when to pick?  Well, the JuanMaker has some words about that...  Check out his latest non-sense at www.youtube.com/juanmaker.  Till next time...
