Harvest Update: Merlot Starts To Arrive
We?re several weeks into Harvest now and the grapes look beautiful. Going from vineyard to vineyard, tasting grapes, calling picks and watching our teams come together always reminds me why this is my favorite time of the year.
1, and now we?re onto Merlot. I?ve been all over Sonoma County checking on the grapes, and I?m really excited about how this vintage is starting to shape up. I?ll talk more about that later, but in the meantime, I wanted to share some of my favorite photos with you from the past week or so.
