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, concentrated fruit.

Golden in color, this wine displays aromas of fresh peaches and pears along with a slight floral fragrance. The considerable sweetness is enlivened in the mouth by hints of lemon and fresh acidity while the finish lingers on and on.
