Pretty in purple.
The Syrah crop is looking fantastic this year. And it's beginning to taste fantastic too. I think Vinoland is going to be in for a bumper crop. I wouldn't be surprised if the average Syrah cluster weighed in at about 10 ounces. But first things first, the whites need dealing with before I can even think of messing around with weighing a Syrah cluster. Tomorrow, I will test the sugar in the Pinot grigio vines to see how they are maturing. Although August has been a relatively cool month, I have a feeling that my little grey grapes are ready to meet some yeast.

Vinogirl, 10 0z? Looks like 10 ibs. A ten beautiful lbs:-)
Yes, 10 oz doesn't do the pic justice.
Beautiful looking clusters.
NHW & Thud: I'll consider sacrificing one cluster to find out exactly what the weight is.
Tomasso: Wish I could take credit, but Syrah very nearly farms itself!
