Harvest is close at hand, and our job these days is to study every detail and respond to the cues that Mother Nature delivers to us.

The Amador and Petersen ladies. We are so grateful for how our family pulled together to restore our estate after the floods this year. Now that things are back to normal, it’s a joy to celebrate together! 

Do you chill your red wine in the summertime?

Sun is out, chardonnay is on ice. Who’s coming out to see us this weekend?

Lately, we’ve been doing some leafing on our Mercedes Riverblock Pinot Noir vines- our team trims off the leaves and vines on the side that faces the morning sun, to let the light filter through. The leaves are left in place on the side that gets afternoon sun to protect the grapes from the intense heat. It’s all about growing the best possible fruit that requires minimal intervention to make brilliant wine!
