The Columbia Valley produced yet another memorable vintage in 2003, remarkable for its consistency and rich, ripe grapes. A warm spring gave way to a long hot summer and the skies were bright and sunny throughout August. This, combined with good temperatures through September and October, gave us mature and concentrated fruit. Look for wines with plenty of fruit and substance.

Straw yellow, with fresh green apple aromas repeat on the palate and are accompanied by ripe, juicy pear and some tropical fruit notes. Fresh and appealing, this will should be served slightly chilled and enjoyed as an aperitif or with your favorite light chicken or seafood dish.
