Harvest Season has begun at Rancho Azul y Oro!
After a very hot, smokey month of August, our Petite Sirah decided it had it with this growing year and wanted to be wine more, so wine grape harvest began here on Wednesday, August 31st. This harvest went much like August did, it was hot, it was long, and the two member crew both got stung by bees (at least it wasn't rattlesnakes), but we hope that one day, when we are sitting with a glass of the 2016 Petite Sirah, all we remember are these beautiful images: Rancho Azul y Oro's 2016 Petite Sirah Picking bin after picking bin after picking bin The last bin of the day Beautiful fruit -- our 2016 Petite Sirah The 2016 Petite Sirah, crushed and destemmed
