Secondly, Syrah.

I was out and about with my handy dandy refractometer again today, sugar-sampling Vinoland's Syrah grapes. The fruit looks fantastic, but it isn't ready for harvest yet. I got a reading of 21 °Brix, and seeing as we don't harvest until the grapes are close to 25 °Brix, we have a bit of a way to go still. Acidity is lovely, however there's still a little green component in the flavour. I think it's going to be a good Syrah season.

When I was much much younger, the best apple I ever did eat was a Red delicious picked off a tree ten miles into a long warm hike in Northern Virginia; I can only imagine how wonderful your grapes are, as you with great effort taste them during harvest.
NHW: When I am dropping fruit, I tend to eat a lot of berries as I go along - one of the perks of the job.
