Farm manager Miguel Rodriguez dumps a picking lug into a bin while a checker looks over the quality.
MATTAWA - Sagemoor Farms Wahluke Slope manager Miguel Rodriguez reports a full wine grape crop of about 3,000 tons as the harvest comes to a close.
More importantly, "it's the best quality," he said last week.
Rodriguez, who was named grower of the year a couple of years ago, credits a longer than usual growing season. He noted there was early and late warm weather.
"This area has a great climate for wine grapes," he said. "There was more hanging time, and that's real good for the reds."
