It's been a hot summer and the vines have been soaking up the sunshine. The berries are just starting to turn (veraison), beginning their ripening phase. Ten days ahead of last year. The vineyard is super healthy and happy.
What we dream of now is a long, slow, moderate ripening phase ("hang time") allowing for full development of flavors, with the sugars and acids both reaching optimal levels just before the first good frost. But regardless, it's gonna be a great vintage!
