Wineries celebrating with Oct. 14 events.
Pinot noir grapes are currently being picked at Kings Mountain, pictured, and other vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, weeks earlier than last fall’s harvest, which was affected by the heat. Several Santa Cruz Mountain wineries are celebrating the harvest with events on Saturday, Oct. 14.
Happy to harvest without the firedragon breathing down their necks, the Fogarty team began with pinot noir from Razorback Vineyard, as well as Swan clone pinot noir from Wills Cabin on Skyline, the first week of October. It will be grapes galore for the next two weeks, including Kings Mountain Vineyards pinot noir. Viticulturist Ken Swegles says he’s about 40% through harvest at Ascona on Skyline Boulevard, including some beautiful Aligote.
Dan Lokteff of Wrights Station started with estate pinot noir on Sept. 29, more than three weeks later than typical, along with pinot gris and pinot noir from Lago Lomita vineyard. He got a miniscule amount of cabernet sauvignon from Ormsby Trail, having lost some to poor fruit set, and sees lower yields overall. Lago Lomita sangiovese, cab sauv and cab franc should be picked by this weekend.Cinnabar celebrates its 40th anniversary with a Harvest Fest and Grape Stomp on Saturday, Oct.
