HARVEST IS OVER! We finished this weekend by pressing eight tons of Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Our totals for the year are 24.7 tons, 65 barrels, 31 days start to finish. Magnificent fruit and nice, easy fermentations made for a fantastic vintage full of color, brightness and intensity. Thanks to Gaye, of course, and Pete, my steadfast helper these past 15 years.

Here are a few images to round out vintage 2026.

Harvest is finished at Cadence! Yep, we pulled our last Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot on Wednesday 9/16. Picking the fruit any later would have yielded duller, riper, fatter, less varietally correct flavors I simply do not enjoy.

I am looking for two hale and hearty volunteers to help with the last crush of this year this Thursday 9/17. You must be comfortable with ladders, repetitive motion and lifting approximately 40 pounds (moving pick bins around.) We'll start promptly at 8:30 AM and are generally done by noon. Vinous payment awaits :) Please reply to [email protected]

Harvest 2026 is underway at the Cara Mia Vineyard! The crew started at 4:30 this morning and finished picking 6 tons of Merlot by 10:00 AM.

Here is a little photo album of last night's sunset and this morning's pick.

Goodnight from the Cara Mia Vineyard. Our first pick of harvest 2026 is tomorrow! All our Merlot is coming in.

It's August and time for this season's yield estimates. Given the smoke I thought it especially good timing to assess the vineyard. In short, everything is hunky dory! Damon has the vineyard in great shape - the mildew pressure has been thoroughly mitigated, the floor is clean and the fruit super healthy. Yes it is smokey though really not too bad especially compared to 2020 - and even in 2020 we escaped any and all smoke taint.

Another fabulous trip to Cara Mia Vineyard in the books. Thunderstorms rolling through last night and this morning made for spectacular cloud drama! So I pulled up a lawn chair, had a Belgian b**r (oops...), and watched it all unfold. I went back this morning to find an amazing sunrise and pounding cloudbursts. The vineyard is well poised for the push to harvest. Thank you Damon!
