So far the wines all seem to be doing well. Racked everything this month, bottled about 6 gallons. Early taste is promising. Drank the couple of bottles of the Baco Noir, young, fruity and better than expected. I did notice the higher alcohol content, not in taste, but in effect on my stability.I did some winter pruning on a couple of vines and noticed a little more cold damage than other years. I don't think I'll blame it all on the over cropping. Our September and October were very warm, then a hard freeze event at the end of the month followed by below average temps since then. In our area most of the trees leaves never turned and the leaves just froze on the branches.We'll see how they start off in the spring.
