Veraison is now very noticeable and the darkening grapes will soon become very attractive targets to our bird population. Beginning Monday we will cover all our Pinot Noir Blocks with nets. It makes it diffficult for us to get in as well as the birds. Fortunately at this stage we can do no more — the grapes are on their own, we have done all we can.
The crop looks to be excellent — smaller than past years — which means the flavors could be more intense. Harvest seems about six weeks away.
