Last Day of Harvest
Today was the last day of harvest. Great timing too, as it was a beautiful, sunny day and about 63 degrees. Too bad we couldn't have had this weather a couple weeks ago.
2005 will go down in history as being a very small harvest. We brought in just 83 tons of Pinot Noir, which is 36% less than last year's harvest. But, the fruit looks good and we're optimistic about the 2005 vintage!
Here's a picture of Alex taking the last load of pomace(primarily stems) down to our compost piles.
Congratulations on another great harvest!
