Every month, I try to write a blog about what the month was about and I have been doing this since 2015. All of these blogposts are located under the Vintages Notes Tab, located at the top of this blog.
It is time again to collate all of the blogs related to Vintage 2020. It amazed me when I was going through the posts that I wrote a blogpost last year on this very day, and remarked how warm January was and how we were still working in the vineyard rolling up our netting.

What I will remember about 2020 will be a warm winter followed by a cool spring and then a summer of heat waves. Luckily for us, the heat wave allowed our grapes to accumulate the highest level of Brix that we had ever seen. Our stellar crew and Jonathan Edwards helped us with the harvest and processing the harvest and now we settle in for a small respite.
Looking ahead, it appears that the weather this year is similar to last years with warm weather for the first week of the new year. The vineyard is calling us to get out and do some pre-pruning preparations.
