The Brix reading for the Rondo clusters tested ranged from 19 to 22, with 20 being ideal for reds. It will be time to harvest in the next day or so. We'll end up with two harvests again as some of the bunches have not started turning yet.
The Solaris tested at 15 so it has a way to go. The Chardonnay is not close yet but the Pint Noir has started veraison. Very interesting. The leaves on the vines are turning brown and dropping as the heat and lack of rain continue.
We are tracking hurricanes, Danielle and Earl, in fear of potential arrival here this coming weekend and next. Danielle has just been downgraded to a tropical storm but two new depressions have formed off the Cape Verdes with a high likelihood of strengthening.
