Tasting Notes
Pale yellow quartz in color. Lifted notes of lemon, pear, sweet cream, and hints of grapefruit pith on the nose. The palate is light and clean, with mouth-quenching acidity and lingering notes of fresh bread and biscuit on the finish.
Vintage Notes
2014 was Oregon's warmest growing season in recorded history. The record was broken not by the daytime highs, but by the overnight lows; which were consistently higher than normal. Spring was warmer and drier than normal, and provided the perfect conditions for flowering and fruit set. We saw large yields and unlimited sunshine! We harvested up to a month early in some blocks, and avoided the fall rainy season all together. It was a vintage of unprecedented quality and quantity!
