2007 Harvest Update ... .its been hot

sustained temps in the 80's - 90's has moved growth along fast. some shatter with grenache grapes up in Eaglepoint Vineyard has occurred but for the most part bloom and set is done and fruit clusters are coming out heavy and strong. Pruning is word of the week. We want to cut back growth to ensure concentrated fruits, flavors to what's remaining.

We're predicting EARLY HARVEST this year. Okay, you can never predict mother nature but that's my current bet. Let's see.

Q's, comments - pls. let me know.
