Vineyard Designation
100% Estate Grown. Creating world-class Sauvignon Blanc starts in our estate vineyard. The sites we have selected are perfectly suited for this grape varietal. Managing our canopies and exposing the grapes at just the right time in the growing season are critical steps in crafting a Sauvignon Blanc reminiscent of New Zealand’s finest while highlighting the Yakima Valley’s exceptional suitability for this grape.
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
Creating world-class Sauvignon Blanc begins in our estate vineyard, where carefully selected sites are ideally suited to this varietal. Strategic canopy management and precise fruit expo- sure at key stages of the growing season are essential to achieving the bright aromatics, lively acidity, and varietal expression that define this wine. Harvested in early September at optimal ripeness during the cool morning hours, the grapes retained their aromatic intensity and vivid fruit character. After hand sorting, the fruit was gently whole-cluster pressed, and the juice settled for six days before being racked into stainless steel and concrete tanks. Fermentation was conducted at a cool 62°F with a specialized New Zealand yeast strain chosen to preserve the wine’s vibrant fruit profile and enhance aromatic complexity. Over nearly three weeks, the wine fermented to complete dryness, then spent two months on its lees with biweekly stirring to build texture and roundness. The wine was then settled, stabilized, and filtered for a crisp, expressive finish that highlights the exceptional quality of Yakima Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
