Another season comes to an end. Over the next few months we will be analyzing the data from this season, comparing it to lasts and contemplating the results. We will post our summaries on this blog as soon as we have them available.

The is the merlot in the research vineyard after harvest and just before all the leaves came off.

Harvest couldn't have been better. The weather cooperated this year (thankfully no tropical storms) but it didn't stop us from running around trying to get all the data we needed before the fruit came off at our grower cooperator sites. Here are a few pictures of harvest at Martha Clara where we needed to take a bit more data because the plots were replicated.

Here is before and after the syrah vines were picked.

We want to thank not only all of our cooperators for allowing us to come take data this season and allowing us to continue this work through the next but also the people who came out to help us pick and take data. It's a lot of work that needs to be done in a short window and everyone did a great job. THANKS!
