Syrah is down to .75 brix. Still has a dense cap. Expect we'll press it on Wednesday or Thursday. Volume appears to be less than expected.
Malbec is fermenting well. Down to 18 Brix.
Merlot is fermenting slower. Down to 21 Brix.
Checked the temp of the must. Merlot was 76 degrees, Malbec 78 degrees, Syrah 72 degrees.
Heard from Dana at RiverRock. The row of Clone-6 there is at 26.6 brix, "seeds brown and cruncy, stems lignified to brown". Concern about a weather change coming. Will watch closely. Want to let hang a little longer. Also possible to get a few lbs of Mourvedre (50#) to blend with the Syrah. We have our fingers crossed.
