Growing Conditions
This Reserve Tempranillo is a part of our ‘Tomodynamic’ Reserve series. Because it’s such a
special wine, we only produce it “Once in a Blue Moon.”
● Summit View Vineyard - Walla Walla Valley
● The warmest vintage on record for Washington
● Bud break occurred two to three weeks early in most sites
● Increased irrigation and proper canopy management allowed for
health vines and fruit development
● Cooler than average fall temperatures allowed for a longer hangtime,
with smaller berries for increased structure
Harvest
● Hand harvested grapes
Bottling
● Cross flow filtration prior to bottling
● Bottling date: May 30, 3017
Winemaking
● Small lot fermentations in stainless steel tanks
● The cap was manually punched down twice a day
Aging

rackings.
