Laurel Glen founder Patrick Campbell trained his vines into a California sprawl-type canopy, with 3-4 arms and multiple canes on each vine. This resulted in a heavy fruit load per vine that often resulted in uneven ripening. Vineyard Manager Phil Coturri, who took over management of the vineyard in 2011, has cut back the arms to two, resulting in fewer clusters per vine. The new training system, widely used in Bordeaux, is called Double Guyot. Each vine now has only two canes which are trained in opposite directions along the fruiting wires. The lower yields result in more uniform ripening and better concentration in the berries.
