"People who like to pick their pinot at low Brix got their wish in 2011, and people who don't like to pick low didn't have a choice," Bob Cabral told me."We're talking mostly an average of 22 to 23 Brix across Sonoma County," he said.Harvest here started on September 7 and was wrapped up by early October "so the rain wasn't an issue".What was an issue was the fact that around 20% of the fruit didn't set and the tiny berries ensured a crop level 25% below normal.Cabral thinks that the wines "are really outstanding because of their precision and flavor depth; they taste exactly like where they're grown, which is what pinot is all about.And the tannins are even and in sync with the fruit."
