New barrels 10.14.11.jpg

Another truckload of barrels arrived at AVV today. 

239 barrels to be exact.  The load was a mix of American Oak and French Oak.  Soon each will be filled with our Cabernet and Zinfandel.

We harvested our first Cabernet today from Turkey Hill.

The fruit looks great. At the end of today we wil be 58% complete. All of the Zin is in now.

All we have left is a small block of Petit Verdot, half of the Merlot and most of the Cabernet. The weather has improved so I hope it holds.  (Kevin Hall)
