GROWING SEASON
During the 2008 growing season Walla Walla lived up to its reputation as the ‘land of fire and ice’. June started with 100 degree temperatures at the beginning of the month, but ended with temperatures low enough that snow was nearly at the valley’s floor. We saw a late bloom in early May but warm weather throughout the season led to an early ripening that made up for the late start. By the end of the season, it turned out to be one of the driest summers in years - near perfect weather for Bordeaux varietals. Fall conditions were warm and dry, and harvest was just slightly later than average. Grapes were full of character and supple flavors, and were nicely balanced with acidity – we are more than happy with the end results.
