2012 Pinot Plantings
The 2012 season was another year of expanding Noble Knob estate vineyard. Pinot Noir Wädenswil Clones established the Theo Block while Pinot Gris No. 3 Clones were introduced over Thanksgiving weekend. A 40 year old Douglas Fir tree was felled on Fourth of July by our awesome neighbor who continues to clear the fence line and allowed us to limb his tall Douglas Fir tree as part of project "vinelight".
While misty fog drifts up from the valley floor, plans call for a late fall planting of more Pinot Noir Dijon Clone 115 vines in the Orchard Block following severe pruning of several Apple trees. To all who have participated in clearing the land, burning brush piles, running the micro-irrigation system, spraying and tying vines, we say thank you!
