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.
