Fruit set is complete across the main vineyard, and the berries are rapidly increasing in size. Plants are in excellent condition at this time. The weather has been dry and unusually moderate in temperature, but high heat is expected by week’s end. Training of lateral cordons in new port vineyard is in progress.
