Harvest 2010

What a tough year to be a grape grower in the Napa Valley! Mid-season rain and mildew, followed by a brutal heatwave, followed by cool non-ripening weather and now rain... A lot of winemakers are truly earning their money this harvest! For me the question was do I really need another couple hundred cases of red wine in the pipeline... Not really... The answer was to try my hand at another dry classic Rose. Much like the '08 Rose of Pinot Noir that everyone loved to the point there's only a handful of bottles left!

So this year something with a new twist... Using Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to make a Cabernet Rose! Grapes were harvested first week of October and the pressed juice is almost through primary fermentation... If all goes well we'll be bottling Cabernet Rose this Spring!!
