Botrytis infections are not uncommon, but not a major problem in most years. The trunks are winter tender and subject to crown gall attack. Perhaps a more restirictive rootstock would help attain wood maturation. Because it ripens before the other Bordeaux red cultivars and because of the impressive wine quality produced in some New York growing regions, a search for better clones would be worthwhile. |
Can only be recommended for superior sites.

The variety ripens its fruit and wood much too late for success in New York. Berries split on excessively compact clusters leading to bunch rot. Berries tend to raisin before they are mature. Literature suggests oval berries. |

Highly sensistive to botrytis, large compact clusters lead to overcropping with our standard methods of cultivation. Maturity, hardiness and quality suffer as a consequence. Literature describes as having cylindrical clusters and round berries. |

Dr. Bruce Reisch reports isozyme pattern is identical with Pinot noir. German evaluations report good cold hardiness and large yields. For a Pinot noir clone, these vines are low in vigor and yield and lack cold hardiness. Vegetative growth suggests a possible virus infection. Wood is currently being tested for presence of tobacco ringspot which has on rare occasion infected vines grafted to C. 3309 in New York. The variety has been included in expanded trials of Pinot noir clones currently under way |

A large berried, vigorous variety with very compact, bunch rot susceptible fruit. Neither the fruit nor the vine ripen satisfactorily in New York leading to excessive winter injury to buds and trunks. |
