We had a break in the weather early this week, with morning fog and daytime highs in the mid-70s. The vineyard is poised for veraison, and I spent a few hours prowling around taking pictures mostly in our Grenache, Mourvedre and Vermentino blocks.
This is a selection of photos from around the property, taken Wednesday, October 17th, 2007. The day felt like fall, cool, sunny and breezy, and I wanted to capture the end-of-harvest feel and the blustery beginning signs of dormancy.
You think these grapes aren't sweet? Yellowjackets and honeybees have a feast on ripe grapes as harvest approaches (Mourvedre in this photo). Thanks to Chandler Smiley for the picture.
