2020 CCW Life is Rośe

The start of 2020 was wet for Eastern Washington standards. There were a few inches of snow that accumulated during winter. The spring saw a few showers down at lower elevations while the mountains continued to get snow, this meant there was plenty of snowpack in the mountains and plenty of moisture in the soils to ensure vines got off to a good start. The spring continued the trend and vines started to push a little earlier than average. This early season growth seemed to set us on a path to early harvest, but the summer was consistent and did not make harvest start early. Overall, the heat units were up but limited days in the triple digits had vines ripening at a steady pace. It was another season that saw smoke impact some areas, we seemed to miss the worst of it at our vineyard. The white wines were picked in early September and harvest went all the way to the end of October. The quality is amazing, and we cannot wait to share the wines with you.
