Winery Notes
TASTING NOTES The nose comes alive with aromas of key lime, orange blossom, white peach, wet stone and wildflower. Up front the wine is round and luscious with balanced acidity building on the mid-palate, bringing out complex and exotic flavors of lychee, kumquat and pear. Hints of key lime, peach skin, lemon tart and brioche enhance the experience. The finish is focused and elegant.
WINEMAKING PROCESS Grapes are hand harvested and whole cluster pressed. The wine was cool fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks which were temperature controlled to maximize fruit character. Aged sur lie for six months.
VINTAGE NOTES A six-year string of unusually hot and dry harvests ended in 2019 when almost four times the normal amount of rain fell in late September. While challenging, these conditions were actually more typical of a classic Oregon harvest – reminiscent of vintages such as 2007, 2003, 1997 and 1995 that produced some enduring and delicious wines in a true Oregon style. Temperatures ran slightly lower than 2018 but still above the 20-year average. Harvest from the estate began Sept. 21 and wrapped up Oct. 9, a shorter picking schedule than usual due in part to working around weather events. Vintages like these produce wines where alcohol levels are lower, revealing more complex aromatics and flavors.
