Bud Break

Bud Break has started on the Cabernet Franc vines at the Three Rivers Estate vineyard.  The Cabernet Sauvignon from the same vineyard has not yet reached bud break, but we expect it to happen anyday.  Below is a picture of our Cabernet Franc vines taken this morning.  The temperatures have been on the cool side this Spring and it is just beginning to warm up to average/normal temperatures for this time of year.  The cooler temperatures and snow in April pushed back bud break, which usually occurs earlier, so we expect everything else, including harvest, to be a little later this year.
