Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

Discing the Tara Bella Cabernet Sauvignon vineyardDiscing under those last pesky weeds that suck up precious water. You can see how dry it is…… Make sure you wear your mask….

Soil in this area has higher levels of sodium…. adding 26 TONS of Gypsum (that is 52,000 pounds of pulverized rock)!! neutralizes the sodium… therefore, USING LESS WATER.

Also, to help prevent dehydration in the fragile grapes closer to harvest…..
It is a VERY dusty job for winemaker, Kevin…….
