Grape Nirvana

This morning the grapes arrived from the Deux Vert Vineyard, our close neighbor here in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. As you can see from the photo above (pinot noir clone 1018) this vineyard produced fabulous fruit this year. Like most of the vineyards in this area, Deux Vert has yielded a crop with good quantity and the unique combination of high sugar and high acids. The perfect weather is continuing with warm, sunny dry days and very cool nights. We are exceptionally excited by the quality of fruit coming into the winery.
