Vintage Overview Warm, fine conditions in early summer offered fruit a great start to the growing season. Cooler weather and periodic rains from late August to October made for a challenging harvest, however the vineyards were monitored very closely and selectively harvested to ensure optimum grape quality. Cooler weather allowed the grapes to develop optimal fruit flavors while maintaining its characteristic food-friendly acidity. Fruit development under these climate conditions occurs at lower sugar levels, resulting in wines with less alcohol and a soft, complex profile. Overall, the 2007 vintage yielded some classic, high quality wines that remind us why Oregon has become a world class wine region.
