Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The wine has a light straw hue but is overall very clear. The aromas are sweet and subtle, some nice peach and stone fruit combine with slate and flora notes. The flavors continue to evolve as the wine opens up. Easy drinking white that will age well for 5 or 6 years..
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.
