So I was out in the vineyard this afternoon, following the shoot thinning and generally assessing the potential crop. It looks really good - I’m probably going to drop some clusters especially in the Syrah and Primitivo zones as both seem to have set quite a bit of fruit.

Grenache - which was frost damaged - is all over the map…

And everything in between. For the most part, clusters are behind rest of the varieties with very small berries.

For now I’m in wait and see mode but probably will do some serious thinning down the road to even out maturity.
