2010 will go down as the fastest harvest we've ever done. We picked the entire vineyard in one day which we've never done before and hope to never repeat. And we processed all the fruit in one long shift on the sorting line which we also hope to never repeat.
On the bright side, the fruit looks really good. Sugars have soaked up (we leave the crushed berries in a cold place for a couple of days before we start fermentation) to 23+ Brix which means low to middle 13s on alcohol. Flavors were great, seeds were ripe, should be a very nice vintage. Some pictures of harvest are shown above.
