Walking the two Sonoma Coast vineyards where we will be pulling our Chardonnay grapes this year; Petersen Vineyard - just outside the new Petaluma Gap AVA and Indindoli Vineyards - in the heart of the Russian River AVA. The fruit looks great and based on the impromptu lesson from my winemaker, Erica Stancliff @estan88, regarding taste, pulp condition, skin texture and brix we are just a few short weeks from harvest.
