Harvest Updates: The end of harvest -- Cabernet Sauvignon (Part 1)

Part 1: Harvest comes to a close on 2024 today with the last block of our Cabernet Sauvignon, with Orion high in the southwest sky and a full moon overhead. And now that harvest is over, queue the music, this is when I get all melancholy and reminiscent about all the things that could have gone wrong but didn't and happened to go right, or maybe I'm just exhausted today. We started at 4am and pulled in 3.0105 tons of Clone 337, which tends to be our "reserve" grade selection which will ferment in Beta Tank, and 2.019 tons of Clone 169 which will ferment in Alpha Tank and likely will form the backbone (i.e., structure) of our Estate Bottled Red Wine.
