Vineyard Photos - July 2008

  • Vineyard_july08_0017
    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.

Vineyard Photos - October 2007

    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.

Pressing Off Mourvedre

As we bring the grapes from the last few sections of the vineyard into the cellar, we make space in our tanks by pressing off some lots that were more precocious.  With the beautiful weather we've been having, this sometimes makes for some nice scenes.  The shot below is of the juics from a press load of Mourvedre, lit by sun streaming through the open winery door.
