VINEYARD EVALUATIONS Are based on observations made on a CELLAR NO.: Preceded by 69-, the cellar number identifies the lot in limited number of vines over a period of a few to many years. Most the sequence that it was made in 1969. are, therefore, preliminary in nature. ALCOHOL: Ebulliometer measurements on finished wine. COLD HARDINESS- During the winter of 1967-68 minimu? temp%ra- tures in the Experiment Station vineyards ranged from -14 to -20 F. EXTRACT: Solids determined by Brabender Moisture Testing Oven. depending upon the site. Virtually all vines showed some degree of injury. Based on this experience the following designations are used TOTAL ACID: Per cent acid expressed as tartaric acid. Certain here: high-acid wines were reduced in acidity by addition of potassium Hardy- from 1 to 20 per cent of primary buds killed. Medium hardy- from 21 to 50 per cent of primaries killed. carbonate after completion of fermentation. In these cases, adjusted Tender- from 51 to 100 per cent of primaries killed, along with acidity is shown in the second acid column, and ratings are based on some trunk injury. tasting of adjusted wines. Very tender- trunks killed to the ground with only suckers growing. TANNIN: Total phenolics measured by Folin-Ciocalteu Method.

VINE VIGOR- Designations are based on vine size as follows: OPTICAL DENSITY: 0. D. at 525pm is proportional to red pigment Low vigor- less than 1%pounds of cane prunings. content. Moderate vigor- from 1% to 2% pounds of cane prunings. High vigor- from 2% to 3% pounds of cane prunings. TRISTIMULUS COLOR: L is lightness, where 0 is black, 100 white. Very high vigor- more than 3% pounds of cane prunings. Saturation is (a2 + b2)%, proportional to strength of color. HUEis expressed as the hue angle, 0 (~ot.0= a/b). The range of 00 to 60 CLUSTER SIZE- is described as small, medium, large, or very large: equivalent to violet red to orange. As 0 changes from 75 to 110 , Small refers to clusters similar in size to the Delaware or Foch the hue changes from pinkish yellow to greenish yellow. varieties.
