Crop Estimation, Pinot noir clones and a teinturier variety with four seeds

Santa Ana Crop Estimation July 24, 2020

Jim Peterson weighs a bucket with grape clusters collected from a single vine. After weighing several buckets filled similarly, Jim formulated a crop estimate...we will see how close he came to the actual tonnage in a couple of weeks when harvest is accomplished. 
Here, Jim has completed his weighing of all the sample buckets...he then processed them to extract a juice sample to measure soluble solids (degrees Brix) and pH.

Four seeds from a grape berry of Enchantment, a teinturier variety (colored pulp) developed at the University of Arkansas. This grape has Alicante Bouschet in its parentage.
