Tasting Notes
Light straw yellow in color. The nose is bright and airy with notes of fresh pear, lemon verbena, and a hint of fresh ginger and nutmeg spice. The palate is light and crisp, with a surprisingly savory finish.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage was a rollercoaster of a season. The season began with a frost event that affected many parts of the Willamette Valley. Our Estate was spared on account of our later than average budburst date, but most feared the lost of their entire crop. Ample spring rains followed and contributed to bountiful yields across the Valley. We were then graced with one of the the longest seasons in the last decade, one that lasted well into October with sunshine and 80F days. It was an astonishing vintage and a winemaker’s dream come true.
