The ruler of Vinoland.
If I'm not careful, I may become the victim of a viticultural-insurrection. The majority of Vinoland's grapevines look like they are on track to yield their biggest crop ever this season, however, the Syrah vines look like they are vying for domination of the entire vineyard. Whilst there are lots of average-sized clusters in the Syrah block, the vast majority are simply massive (the photograph doesn't do the largeness of the front cluster justice). I'll probably be sleeping with one eye open until it's time to harvest the Syrah and put paid to their Machiavellian-maturation.

VG: Beautiful!
So the less than hot weather was good then?
NHW: They look spectacular, if I do say so myself. Feel rather weighty, too.
Thud: Very similar to the cool 2010 season...I remember the fruit looked fab then too (especially the CS).
