The Walla Walla Valley 2023 growing season began with late budbreak in the end of April through early May. Due to the ideal spring weather, bloom happened in record time—less than 30 days in parts of the vineyards. Summer was one of the hottest on record, with steady but not extreme heat, leading to ripe fruit that maintained freshness and acidity, and kicked off an early harvest in September. The resulting wines showcase ripe luscious tannins, balanced tension and complexity, promising exciting developments over the next decade and beyond.

Within all of our vineyards we dedicate ourselves to being stewards of the land and leaders in the practices of sustainable agriculture.
