Vintage Notes

Arguably the most memorable winegrowing season in
modern Willamette Valley history, the 2020 vintage
was filled with various milestones. Ample sunshine
and welcomed bud break in April with bloom shortly
following in early June. Warm days a little rain
during the summer meant canopies remained strong
and vines produced a small but high quality crop.
Harvest began in late August with fruit designated
for sparkling wine shortly followed by still Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay grapes. Harvest shifted on September
7th with the influence of smoke from nearby fires.
Because of prior vineyard management practices and
a favorable ripening period, the grapes were harvested
as fast as they could be in order to reduce the impact
of smoke on the flavor of wines
