It’s common for people to ask us, “When does harvest start?” or “Is the harvest early (or late) this year?” While we keep close records for harvest dates in each block of each vineyard over the years, the fact is that harvest is never early nor late. It happens when the vines and the grapes are ready. In this raucous dance, the vines lead, and we follow.
This year’s harvest took off out of the gate, but several weeks in, the pace has slackened. Consistent and relatively cool days have allowed for the vines to check their pace a bit. We’re okay with that and enjoy seeing the grapes hang a little longer at this point in the season.
