The Columbia Valley’s hot growing season in 2004 followed by a cool fall created a longer harvest that resulted in wines with ripe, rich flavors. Hot dry weather in August gave way to cooler temperatures and light rain in mid-September, slowing harvest and extending hang time. Warm, dry weather resumed in early October, giving us bright and concentrated fruit.

Lychee and passion fruit aromas fill the nose while tropical flavors of lychee, clove and spice round out the palate. This off dry wine has just enough acidity to provide a clean finish.
