Oregon Pinot Noir Harvest Starts...

Great photos and descriptions, Craig.

Could you say a little more about the pressing itself, or maybe post some pictures if you have them.  I was just out in Walla Walla and saw a couple of rotary presses at work, both with and without pressure applied to the fruit.  Do you use those or some other type?

We use a Defranceschi Membrane press, it does rotate, but is much gentler than a horizontal rotary bladder press. Does this look like what you saw?

Riesling is always our last vineyard harvested and we just picked last Sunday. What the birds and deer did not eat was affected with quite a bit of Botrytis. However in this case rot is good and should add depth and complexity to the wine.

Honestly, if you decide to sell those photos online, I'd buy all of them. They are just stunning and worth framing.

Keep it coming :)
