Vineyard Notes
2022 was another epic vintage in WA state. One of the wettest
springs on record had early shoot growth booming. A funny
thing happened at that point, it stayed cool. The cooler
weather pushed back bud break and flowering, eventually
pushing harvest back one to three weeks. The heat finally
started to show up at the end of June, maybe even too much
heat, when it is over 100 degrees the grapes start to shut
down. We started picking in mid September and finished at the
end of October. The compressed harvest had some challenges but in the end we are enthusiastic about what is to
come.
Winemaker Notes
We picked each of the varietals for this blend separately and
started playing with blending options once the fermentations
were complete. I was excited to make a Rhone style white
blend but couldn
’
t help adding a touch of Sauvignon Blanc to
bring a little more acidity to wine. This wine has a lot of
character and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods.
