Vintage: 2022 in a word: miraculous. After a chilly start, the valley experienced a continuous drenching from an
atmospheric river throughout the first half of the year. As buds broke in early April, an unseasonable frost between
4/11 and 4/15 caused damage to unfurling buds and tender shoots. Inclement weather persisted through into June,
further challenging an already delayed flowering. However, a turn for the better occurred in July and August; the long,
warm, dry days became cool nights in both September and October. Harvest commenced in Dundee Hills the
morning of 9/23 and concluded in Eola-Amity on 10/15. Yields were better than expected and the quality is
especially high from the coolest sites where the impact of the frost was minimal. The vintage has a crystalline, tensile
character with wines showcasing distinctiveness of site. These youthful wines are vibrant and chiseled, densely
structured with high acidity and extract.
