Ah.....the sweet smell of grapes in the air.  We had our fist BIG day of harvest yesterday and we are officially in full swing in the Napa Valley.  We brought in 26 tons of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon yesterday at the winery and thinks are looking good.  After a stressful growing season with everything mother nature could throw at us - late spring rains during bloom, cool summer temperatures and an early fall rain - we are finally bringing in the 2011 vintage.  The grapes look great and the flavors are fantastic.  We are still yet to harvest any of the estate fruit, and we have some nice extended rain free weather through the end of October to help us out.  Come by and check out the estate Cabernet grapes and join us for a harvest tour.
