Vintage Notes
The 2006 growing season in the Columbia Valley presented a year of extremes
in weather. The spring was wet and cooler than normal leading into a long, hot
summer. Summer provided ideal conditions of dry weather, warm days and
cool nights. Harvest began early, with some white grapes picked in late
August. A cooler period in Mid-September slowed things down and allowed
more hang time for enhanced flavor development. |
