<p><b>Tasting Notes</b> <br /> "This medium-bodied white wine showcases delicate floral aromas and flavors of apples, pears and melon. Upfront fruit gives way to a juicy and refreshing finish.”-<em>Ray Einberger, Winemaker</em> </p>
<p><b>Growing Season</b> </p>
<ul>
<li>The mild winter allowed the vines to remain in good shape throughout the cold months.</li>
<li>In May, one to two weeks before bloom, temperatures spiked to 100 degrees for about a week.</li>
<li>The heat spike led to a smaller canopy which allowed for more light penetration, and contributed to good flavor development in the fruit. The hot temperatures also contributed to smaller berries with concentrated flavors.</li>
<li>During fruit set the weather conditions were favorable and the summer saw mild to average temperatures.</li>
<li>Veraison started 10 days ahead of average.</li>
<li>At the beginning of harvest, temperatures were moderate, and October weather was ideal for harvest.<br /></li>
</ul>
<p><b>Vineyards</b> </p>
<ul>
<li>Columbia Valley vineyards are seated east of the Cascade Mountain range. Up to 14,000 feet high, the mountains effectively block eastward-moving wet weather systems from the Pacific Ocean.</li>
<li>Just 6 to 8 inches of rainfall reach the growing region annually. Vineyards are 100% drip irrigation.</li>
<li>The soils have low fertility and low water-holding capacity, allowing precise control of vine growth patterns.<br /></li>
</ul>
<p><b>Vinification</b> </p>
<ul>
<li>After pressing, the juice was cold-settled then clean racked off solids.</li>
<li>Inoculations with Steinberger yeast initiated 20-30 day fermentations.</li>
<li>Cool temperatures throughout the winemaking process enhanced the naturally clean, floral character and crisp acidity.<br /></li>
</ul>
