Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

Walking through the vineyard today checking sugars…. Many growers have started picking Pinot Noir and Chardonnay… it is VERY early!!!

Remember we are growing Cabernet Sauvignon in the Russian River Valley where it is cooler. We have a ways to go….

We want to get to 24.5 Brix (pronounced bricks….loosely translated, a percentage of sugar present in the fruit). We are at 19 brix. Getting close.
