Harvest! An unexpected spike in the weather last week ripened the highest elevation fruit faster than expected. Today we harvested Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon from our ten acre bowl at 2,200 feet elevation. This is beautifully balanced at 25 degrees brix. Harvest began at 4am. There is still a good deal of Cabernet in our 1,800 feet elevation bowl out. Looking like late next week for that block and the rest of the ten acre block. We will wrap up harvest with the fruit for our Port project – we will patiently await that slight raisining and concentration that makes our “Latigo” so delicious.
