Always recall: the productive unit is not the acre, the hectare, even the vine; it's the shoot. So look at the shoot and see how well it appears capable of supporting its load of clusters. Lee and company have trained their master crew to this way of working over the years, and the result is in the bottles. Classic Hudson thinning work here.

What's your feel about the smoke affecting the grapes themselves and flavor/aroma effects in the finished wine, especially in areas closer to the fire lines? I saw there was yet another fire yesterday in the Carneros area near Napa. Hey, Morgan -
