I made a promise to follow up on our little bud from the first vineyard post. So…..here it is! Same vine….same spur….nearly 5 months later. In fact, this covers the whole growing season for the fruit. The vineyard was harvested just a few days after this picture. It really is pretty amazing how quickly the vine moves through the season year after year. And this year it moved even quicker as it was harvest earlier in September than last year. Part of this vineyard was again picked for our Lizzy James Vineyard, Old Vine Zinfandel. You can catch a picture of that in Red Wine 101.
