Harvest 2018 -- Here We Go

Vintages are unique -- and 2018 is no exception.  So far, the weather has been temperate and kind resulting in a more gradual final maturation than the past couple of years.  Our harvest got underway on September 7 with a little over two and a half tons of Sauvignon Blanc from the "Sunninghill" block -- here's Scott setting an example in a suit and tie. Yesterday, we picked two tons of Merlot for rosé -- the photo shows the juice draining into the press pan.  It looks like it will be another week or ten days before the serious reds start coming in.
