2012 Vintage - Hoping for Greatness...

Early summer and the weather is about to heat up for the balance of July, great news for the grapes and for my peace of mind. It has been a near perfect growing season and I'm hopeful for a well-deserved quality harvest in 2012. We've been busy doing our Wine Festivals, working in the vineyard, racking and about to bottle 2010 wines, and generally keeping things under control. 2012 barrels have started arriving (as shown in this picture) and I'm beginning to get excited about the potential for this year's crop. The vineyard is also looking very balanced and showing very little sign of stress.
