The birds and the bees are in busying themselves with reducing Vinoland's Cabernet Sauvignon crop. It's not that I begrudge my avian and apian friends a little fresh fruit now and again. It's just that I can't help but feel a little pang of disappointment at the fact that some of my lovingly pruned and farmed grapes will not get the chance to fulfill their destiny by becoming wine. I already knew that the minute the local animal population becomes this interested in the fruit, the fruit is ripening. I really should have taken a sugar sample before today, but I've been a bit busy.
The birds and the bees were correct. The fruit is rather ripe; the sugar is at 25 °Brix and the seeds are mostly brown. However, Vinomaker thinks the juice tastes just a little green still. I don't. I think the juice tastes simply delicious, typically Cab-like. Apparently, so do the birds. And the bees.
