Aug 6th

Veraison at Dry creek is mostly complete for the petite sirah ( 80 -90 % ), for the zin it is averaging about 60% across the middle and at the fringes and " north / west " end more like 30%, some has not entered veraison yet. Fruit loads are quite good, thinning will be completed tomorrow. Weather is continuing to be ( generally ) warm ( weekend was really pleasant, upper 70's to low 80's in the valley ) there was some drizzle from a front that went through, but in walking the vineyards today could not see any impact from that. A spectacular growing season and all looks good.
