The Haut Tubee base was mostly Syrah this year. The Harvest Moon itself was 'ok' at 3.78. Usually it's much higher after Malo in the 3.9 to 4.0 range. I added enough to bring the Harvest Moon into a 3.7 range. I did this as part of a blending plan. The Cab Franc is high at 4.00, but since it's a small lot of just 2 barrels I didn't want to throw a ton of acid at it. I'll treat the Harvest Moon and blend in the Cab Franc. The end result should be right around 3.75 without having to add too much to either wine on its own. The Mourvedre needed the acid the most with a pH of 4.02.

Granted those are from the warmer valley vineyards, but it still seems surprising. In a year where people seemed to struggle to get Cabernet to ripen properly you found yourselves adding acid?

It's at about 1400 feet and very steep. The soil is the fairly rare 'terra rossa' that I like so much and it goes through the entire vineyard. In an odd small world type of thing the vineyard is owned by the founder and first CEO of the company I've worked at for the past 8 years. Up Moody Road almost to the top of the hill.

Everyone else I have talked to had a truck that would not make it up our road much less into the winery.
