Flavor Notes
90 Points | Wine Enthusiast - This is lip-smacking fun, from grilled peach and strawberry tart aromas to the rosé's elevated acidity and flavors of raspberry pastilles, chilled orange slices, fresh basil and mint. There's some weight here, with a texture bordering on creamy. An enjoy the sunset wine, for sure.
On the nose - watermelon, rainier cherry, and blood orange. On the palate - slightly under ripe strawberries, red apple skins, and spring rain.
Sommelier
Enjoy this Rosé with hints of strawberry in a crumb bar, fresh Strawberries, buttery crumb crust, fluffy vanilla whipped cream & toasted almonds.
Chef
A delicious Rosé from the Willamette Valley showcasing wild strawberries, rhubarb, and crushed smarties. Beautifully balanced with crisp acidity, a round mid-palate, and a succulent cranberry finish.

Winemaking Notes
2022 Vintage:
Heavy frost in April delayed flowering and pushed back the season. Cool temperatures in May and June further delayed the vintage. The fear was that the grapes wouldn't ripen in time for harvest if the rain and cold weather came in early October as usual.
Luckily July and August saw hot temperatures that helped accelerate ripening, and temperatures remained warm, and the rains held off until mid-October, allowing for an extended ripening period.
We let our grapes hang out until the last possible minute, just before the rain and cold weather hit. The 2022 harvest was fast and furious, to say the least! The resultant wines are stunningly balanced and expressive. A truly classic Oregon vintage!
