Rain, rain go away!

I knew it wouldn't last. Summer's last reach tried desparately to hang on, but lost it's battle to the Fall's rain. We've had a few days of miserable rain which makes for "not so much fun" crush days. But we drive on and keep going. The rain has delayed some of the merlot. Luckily we're through the cab franc. Today was spent racking juice off lees to barrels to ready the tanks for more juice. The estate cab franc is coming along nicely and we'll be ready to press off and rack to tanks tomorrow.

I shouldn't complain too much about the weather. There have been a few sunny spots. But unlike last month, the sunny days are not accompanied by the warmth of the summer sun. Rather, it's been cold and windy. Well, must get back to work....
