| Climate | The 2020 vintage may be among the best we have ever had in the history of Washington State. We experienced an extraordinary growing season—long and temperate—which allowed the fruit to ripen evenly. The wines are concentrated, rich, complex and vibrant. The reds are restrained and elegant yet powerful, with excellent tension and balance. Our white and rosé wines are wonderfully rich on the palate, yet balanced by enough acidity to make them complete. |
