Ok, I just met with our grower relations guy and the first samples are in. I was a little nervous since a ton of reds are coming in right now in the valley which is almost a month earlier than “normal”. So the sugar was at 24 brix, PH at 3.2, and TA was 1.04. What does the mean? The sugar is nice, but the acids are high meaning that we still have probably about 2 more weeks depending on the weather. For those of you outside of Napa, fall is already arriving with foggy and cool mornings giving way to 80′s during the day. So keep your fingers crossed, we should see grapes sometime around the 25th!
