Syrah


I'm thinking this bunch of grapes is going to make a fabulous wine. This time of year it seems the grape bunches can change color in a matter of hours. I'm sure it's my imagination, but there are times during my evening walk through the vineyard I can swear the grapes have purpled up more since the morning. They do not have much sugar in them yet, so although they are beginning to take on adult beauty, they taste very sour. Last year we harvested over the Labor Day Weekend, so in the next 4-5 weeks the vines will be finishing up this season's work.
