2019 threw a few surprises when it came to the weather! After 2+ months of snow starting in Mid-February, the
summer stayed mild. We were a bit behind going into veraison and the ripening period of September, which was a

and 11th that hit a lot of areas pretty hard. Luckily with our early pick philosophy and intuition of picking based on
avors instead of numbers, it put us ahead of the curve and we had everything in before the freeze. Overall, 2019 is
proving to be a cooler Washington state vintage, with wines that are showing a lot of balance and restraint
