So it has been a quiet week, Ciel Merlot finished fermentation and now it's happily sitting in barrel,
We took a quick trip out to Yakima Valley and hit all the vineyards we are getting grapes from. Tasted everything and it is tasting really good. It looks like we are going to get hit big time this week coming up.
We did some crushing and de-stemming last Sunday, this is Merlot from Alder Ridge, it came in really clean and delicious. Here is a little video of Mark driving the forklift, and the crusher destemmer at work.

Jeff, very neat video. The grapes look wonderful. The destemmer is a neat gadget. Better than doing it by hand. Keep the info coming. It's very interesting. Mom and Dad
