Vintage Notes
The 2025 growing season in Washington was defined by mild winter conditions, an early and even start to the season, and a warm, steady summer free from major heat spikes. Bud break began slightly ahead of historical averages in early April, and growing degree days in the Yakima Valley tracked just above long-term norms through the core of the season. An unusually warm September helped carry fruit to full maturity, resulting in grapes with excellent ripeness, balanced acidity, and strong overall quality. In the Yakima Valley, the 2025 vintage shows the region at its best, with whites expected to offer vibrant aromatics and freshness, and reds showing depth of fruit, refined structure, and impressive balance.
Winemaking Notes
This Rosé of Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes sourced from our estate vineyard in the Yakima Valley AVA, where the region’s moderate climate helps preserve bright acidity and vibrant red fruit character. Harvested in late September during the cool early morning hours, the grapes are whole cluster pressed with careful extraction to achieve the wine’s delicate salmon hue. Fermented at a cool 58°F with a specialized yeast strain, the wine develops expressive aromatics and balanced flavor. Fermentation lasts approximately 25 days and is stopped with a small amount of natural residual sugar (0.65%) to complement the wine’s crisp acidity. Lees stirring over two months enhances texture and palate roundness before the wine is stabilized, filtered, and prepared for bottling.
