Today may be the high point of the 2008 harvest for us. We will process over 17 tons of fruit from five vineyards. This includes two different pinots, two different chards and the Buck Hill Zinfandel! We visited Buck Hill again over the weekend and the vines were beginning to shut down so it was time to make the picking decision. The fruit looked and tasted great - can't wait to bring it in this morning. This year I'll be making two barrels of the zin instead of one - around fifty cases!
The picture is from Monday tasting the Heintz Vineyard chard straight from the press. It may look weird now but it's going to be tremendous. This vintage has really turned around - a little schizo if you will. Well, got to go - more later with pics of the zin.
