Growing Conditions
2013 marked the warmest summer on record
for Walla Walla Valley, Spring was cool and moist,
with bud break occurring in mid-April. Once it
started warming up, it didn’t stop - temps rose
over 100° quite often! The first week of September
brought relief: cooler days and nights which allowed
for the development of our trademark Walla Walla
Valley acidity.
