The 2021 vintage combined hot, dry weather with modest yields and low disease pressure—an unusual blessing in our typically damp Willamette Valley. A record-breaking June heat dome brought early warmth well before the grapes appeared (thankfully!). And once the commotion of the early heat subsided, harvest for our sparkling wines came right on time, ahead of our still wines, capturing the vintage’s vibrant energy. This wine displays its signature vibrant salmon hue. On the nose, bright aromas of grapefruit, candied ginger, and biscuit mingle with fresh cream notes, creating a layered, enticing bouquet. On the palate, a delicate salinity weaves through tart strawberry flavors, culminating in a wine that’s perfectly poised and ready to enjoy now.
