| Growing Season Notes | A cool, wet spring delayed bud break and slowed the start of the growing season. Summer brought warm and dry conditions mixed with well-timed rains, allowing for ideal ripening. Cool fall nights helped the grapes retain natural acidity and ensured an excellent harvest, with concentrated flavors and well-balanced wines. |

| Growing Season Notes | 2021 was an exceptional growing year for Reds in the Snake River Valley. The intense heat brought forth bold fruit flavors and pronounced tannins in the Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedré varietals. This 2021 vintage is Huston Vineyard’s first GSM Blend and is the perfect combination of climate, terroir and winemaking. |
