Winemaking notes
2021 was one of the warmest vintages to date in Washington. It started with an early bud break due to nice weather and moderate temperatures. June was one of the warmest in recorded history, resulting in very small berries. Veraison and the beginning of the ripening season were nice and even, creating a beautiful, extended ripening season that led to excellent fruit with incredible concentration. Overall, 2021 is a distinct and lovely vintage and produced fantastic wines to enjoy now and into the future.

Tasting notes
Cool Liquid Sunshine. Mouth-filling tangerine, Meyer lemon curd and a kiss of butterscotch. Silky and rich to the last long sip!
