2024 brought near ideal conditions to Willamette Valley. A wet winter and spring set the stage with healthy soils, and the growing season unfolded steadily with only brief heat spikes. The transition into fall was smooth, with cool nights and warm days helping preserve acidity while allowing full flavor development. Harvest came at a comfortable pace, stretching over several weeks, no big rush, just patient, selective picks. Yields were moderate, and the fruit showed beautiful balance, freshness, and depth. It’s already being called a standout vintage, with wines that capture the finesse and vibrancy Oregon is known for.
