| Growing Season Notes | Alder Ridge Vineyard is a steep site with south-facing slopes overlooking the Columbia River. 2020 was a mild growing season with mid-April bud break followed by a warm spring. Heat accumulation tracked the long-term average with veraison occurring in early August. The wildfires facing the west blew smoke into the Columbia River basin during the second week of September. This vineyard was picked the third week of September. The long growing season combined with low yields resulted in wonderful balance, length, and aromatics in the whites, and concentrated flavor, color, texture and structure. |

An early frost brought an abrupt end to the season in Mid-October. But lower yields and a perfect summer brought out a complex, balanced and nuanced 2019 vintage. |
