Sunburned Grapes from the Heat Wave Two Weeks Ago


Old Vine Dry Creek Zin


Here's what happened to grapes when the temp climbed up to around 108 degrees a couple weeks ago from the high 70's the day before. Needless to say but these grapes cannot be used to make wine.... they now taste like uber ripe raisins and are good for nothing but protecting any unburned grapes from another heat wave, which has caused many folks to keep them on the vine for now.
