I drove up and got some Cab from Lodi a couple of weeks ago. It’s been such a great year that not many dropped any crop. I had 25 brix and the worst case of bell pepper I’ve dealt with to date. I could taste it at crush. I reached out to a few others and they feel the pyrazines are related to the over crop with ideal weather. I’d recommend having something like FT Rouge on hand if you taste some spice in the juice. Best of luck.
Interesting. Read a lot of different accounts from this year’s harvest and this is the first time hearing anything about cases of bell pepper aroma. Did the few others you reached out to all get their grapes from same vineyard or surrounding areas? Just Lodi? All over?
