This was our first vintage. A warm spring led to a more moderate summer. Due to the unusually warm spring, berry size was smaller resulting in a complex and concentrated grape.

Compared to the previous vintage, in 2017 the spring was much wetter. A spike in heat occurred in May followed by a cool snap. The remainder of summer was warm which allowed for good fruit set. The vintage turned out to be well balanced resulting in a typical Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.

2018 was full of sunshine in the Willamette Valley! Despite it being a dry vintage the sugar, acid, and PH were typical of the area. Warm days and cool nights resulted in ideal conditions for producing some outstanding Pinot Noir.

The growing season was on the mild side this vintage. Rain even fell during the summer. Fall was on the cooler side. Rain fell mid-September causing some uncertainty. The vintage turned out beautifully with complexity and lower alcohol levels which is typical of Oregon Pinot Noir.

Fruit set was challenging due to wet conditions in the Spring. Summer temperatures were moderate leading up to September. The high winds around Labor Day were followed by unprecedented wild fires. The quality of fruit set was still good. This vintage produced wines with concentrated flavor and good acid.
