A Willamette Valley Wine Estate
January 10, 2013
The construction of the tasting room has started and we should be opening sometime later this year. This is a very exciting project for us. The tasting room is designed to integrate with the surrounding landscape to inspire an atmosphere of contemplation and ease.

We picked our last block yesterday. This year was a big change from 2012 and we had the luxury of waiting till we had the right balance of flavors, sugars and acidity. Yields were a little bit below estimate but everything points to another excellent vintage.

The grapes are slowly turning from green to dark red and purple. The vineyard is looking good and its another 40-45 days to harvest. Here is a cluster of grapes in the hands of winemaker Tony Rynders today.

In addition to the vineyard we have a decent amount of acreage that is cultivated for other crops. This year we are growing wheat. The wheat is getting close to harvest. Ladybugs are helping ensure that bugs don’t get to the wheat.

Enjoying the warm weather in the Willamette valley. The vineyard is looking great with the grape clusters slowly starting to grow. Another month they will be starting to change color.
