Yup, it's that time of year, again. I know, I start posts about veraison off with the same thing every year. But really, there is nothing that I could write that would better illuminate the onset of veraison than a snapshot of the little marvel that Mother Nature visits upon grape-growers year after year. I love it.
These are the very first berries to begin veraison in Vinoland and, as usual, it is the Syrah (a particular old, gnarly vine on 110R.) I'm a little more on top of things than
last year when I was a little tardy to the party. Be sure, the Pinot grigio won't be far behind.

My fav time of year...in napa anyway.
Thud: Yes, I like it too. When everything else seems crazy, I can rely on the vines to add some (vin)sanity to my world.
"Tarty to the party" hehe!
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Thanks for keeping us in touch with what is happening in Napa!
NHW: You're welcome...pretty sure veraison is happening throughout wine growing regions of the northern hemisphere.
