Veraison has begun

 


We were surprised yesterday when showing a friend the vineyard that veraison has begun. The grapes are tiny, but the clusters are substantial and ripening is indeed underway. We are getting a lot of rain this week, so I hope the grapes will continue to grow for the next 2-3 weeks without becoming significantly diluted. 

The leaves of the Pinot Noir have also started turning, indicating the end of another season. The Pinot grapes are even smaller than the Rondo.
