The 2017 growing year started with a cold and late winter that transitioned into a wet, cool spring causing delayed

flowering, setting the stage for a later harvest. Then hot, dry conditions prevailed through the summer and early

autumn causing the vines to have some drought stress. If it were not for the later bud burst and flowering, we would

have been picking in August. Fortunately, the phenological development was as such that harvest did not start until

the 17th of September. This vintage is classically Oregon displaying beautiful fruit, restraint, and bountiful acidity.
