vintage 2010


we harvested the grenache on tuesday the 7th of september. cool cloudy morning a bit damp. i let the wind start blowing before picking. did a quick triage throughout. not really that much fruit left on the floor. the grenache came out really beautiful. we hand de-stemmed half by hand and used JM's hand cranked crusher/de-stemmer on the rest.

here are brix numbers on the mourvedre and syrah for 9/9/10


lower mourvedre 19 50%

upper mourvedre 19 50%

lower syrah 20 90%

upper syrah 20 90%
