Black Spanish starting to change just a bit (2 berries in this cluster).

Pulled many leaves so air can circulate better and sun can reach the grapes and wood for next years crop.

Most vines have made the trip down both sides of the wire (3-4′ both sides of the trunk).  The ends have been snipped off so the shoots/canes for next year’s growth will grow in the middle of the cordon.
