Got an email from Mike Hoffman yesterday.  He took several random samples from his upper vineyard “Cima Sur” and the lower vineyard “Este”.  As usual, the upper vineyard has a slightly higher brix reading average of 19 brix, and the lower vineyard is currently at average 17.6 brix.  We are shooting for around 23-24 brix average between the 2 vineyard plots, and he estimates harvest will be in about 4 weeks, around September 10th.  He’ll send over TA and pH readings as the grapes are closer to target brix.  Looking forward to this year’s vintage!
