Crush is here! We processed our first batch of 2010 grapes, Merlot from Jessica Vineyard (West Richland, WA) this week.

Fermentation is underway, and within the next 10 days or so, we’ll have Merlot wine to press!

We plan on harvesting our Chardonnay October 2nd-3rd, after which will closely follow our estate Merlot and Syrah from the Dallas Vineyard in Richland, WA. Other varieties are another few weeks out but are looking good.

Hi Marga,
Sorry we missed your comment in time for the Chardonnay harvest. Please feel free to contact us at contact@colterscreek.com if you are interested in further harvests this fall. We still have 5 crushes left before winter hits!
