Harvest 2011 notes
This year the California harvest season was about 2-3 week later than usu. and we have had a some concerns about grapes getting ripe enough to pick. A couple weeks ago many CA wineries yanked fruit off the vine early to prevent rain damage. We didn’t but we have closely monitored our Tempranillo for signs of rot. Interestingly, Spain has had its earliest season ever. Here is a synopsis of their experience thus far this year:
