Harvest wrapped on October 19
The last Pinot Noir came off Tallow Ridge on Monday, about 58 tons in 18 days.
We finished picking on Monday, October 19, after 18 days and about 58 tons of fruit from our own rows. The last fruit was Pinot Noir from the top block, picked in a cold fog and sorted before it went to the tank.
Tomás has most of the reds on skins now, and the whites are already in barrel. In a week or two we will start pressing, and the barrel room will smell like fruit and yeast for a while.
What this means for a visit
The tasting room has more room at the bar, and the barrel tasting on November 7 will include a tank sample of the new vintage. Guests must be 21 or older to taste.
