Pickin' Pinot!

This morning we are picking our Boisseau Vineyard pinot noir on the Chehalem Mountains and this afternoon start with our Lafayette Vineyards pinot noir here at the winery. Everything is ready to pick now so it will be a race to get everything in the winery as soon as possible. We can expect a lot of late nights as we process all the fruit and get it in the fermenters the same day it's picked. The fruit quality looks very good with almost no gray rot.

The beautiful weather continues with warm 80 degree temperatures and warm, dry breezes. The valley is alive with everyone picking everything.
