2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Harvest

We called on our friends for one more harvest, our Cabernet Sauvignon. We harvested on November 3 on what was a perfect Sunday fall afternoon.
We began at noon, with our early bird friends who came to help us with raising the netting. We accomplished that task by 12:30. So, even though the harvest time was set for 1, we began harvesting. Some of our friends came after 1 p.m. and while they were too late to harvest, they helped us to gather up the lugs and store it in our container for transportation to Jonathan Edwards Winery on Monday morning.
Here is our crew celebrating the penultimate harvest for this year.

On Monday morning, we brought our harvest to Jonathan Edwards Winery and learned that our harvest weighed 332 pounds!

The grapes will be destemmed and gently crushed and sit overnight before inoculating with the yeast, F15.
