Vintage Notes

2021 was one of the warmest vintages on record in Washington. It began with an early bud break thanks to mild weather and moderate spring temperatures. June brought some of the hottest conditions in recorded history, leading to very small berries. Veraison and the start of the ripening season were smooth and steady, resulting in a beautifully extended growing period that produced exceptional fruit with remarkable concentration. Overall, 2021 is a distinct and lovely vintage—yielding fantastic wines to enjoy now and for years to come.

    Wine Advocate

    “Bottled under screw cap, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was designed to be easy drinking, and it bursts from the glass with aromas of chocolate-covered cherries, charcuterie, wild thyme and aniseed. The full-bodied palate is bright and fresh with pure fruit, supple tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink it over the next five years.”
