Nose
refreshing wine with aromas of pineapple, pear and peach.
Palate
The bright acidity,
accentuated by citrus and tropical fruit flavors, delivers a lovely, satisfying
finish that is crisp and clean.
Growing Conditions
The 2009 vintage in Oregon followed a generally warmer growing season, characterized by high week-toweek
variability with wide swings between record high and record low
maximum temperatures. A mid-season heat wave accelerated sugar
development, while flavor and grape maturity needed additional time on the
vine. Fortunately a warm and dry harvest period gave way to cooler than
expected conditions in late September and early October, allowing growers to
let fruit hang, providing for optimal flavor development and ripeness. Harvest
continued into the third week of October in the Willamette Valley.
