2023 VINTAGE NOTES

After a cold, snowy, and wet winter, we experienced a cold and wet early spring. It was starting to look like another late bloom, however around May 10th, the rain stopped, and the sun came out. This warm and dry weather signaled the vines to start budding, and it led to the shortest period of bud break to bloom that we have ever seen in the Willamette Valley. 

The other remarkable aspect of this growing  season was the extended period of dry weather. We experienced a full 97 days of no precipitation! Dry soils challenge the vines to supply needed nutrition into the fruit at critical periods like veraison. Nutrition is critical for wine grapes to ripen with flavor and aromas, not just sugar. Successful growers farmed to preserve soil moisture and used drip irrigation at crucial moments in the vines’ development. We like to keep a vine’s leaves green and facing the beautiful Willamette Valley Summer sunshine!

TASTING NOTES

This lively rosé bursts with aromas of fresh strawberries, white peach, and raspberry, with delicate hints of orange citrus rind, honeysuckle, and pastry cream. On the palate, juicy Hood strawberry and sweet Rio Star grapefruit flavors are balanced by refreshing acidity and a touch of mandarin orange, culminating in a zippy, lingering finish.
