Palate
Pure, focused, and mouthwatering. Citrus blossom, lime leaf, and white peach intermingle with mineral that fills the palate. Carries on to a long, refreshing finish.
Growing Conditions
The 2015 Harvest in Washington State started with an early spring bud break and continued into a warm summer. Although it started early and was a very warm year, thefall turned out to be long and temperate, which gave great ripening to our fruit, bright acid, low alcohol, and beautiful complexity.

Evergreen: Planted in 1998 by Jerry Milbrandt, the vineyard rows lie along a stretch of steep cliffs above the Columbia River in the state’s newest AVA, Ancient Lakes. A coolersite due to river influence, the soils are composed of fragmented volcanic rock, gravel silt, and limestone. This site produces fruit with sublime mineral character and great acidity, a balance that winemakers adore.
