2021 was our first year farming this site with our own hands and putting our first commercial wines in motion. It was a vintage that asked for attention and rewarded it. The Willamette Valley saw intense heat and long dry stretches, so timing and quick decisions mattered. We moved with the season, picked with intention, and held onto balance.

In the glass, 2021 is confident but not heavy. Think depth with lift, structure with brightness. It is the kind of vintage that feels composed, even when the tempo outside was anything but. It also marked an early step in aligning our farming with the long view, building practices that support vine health, soil life, and the future of this place.

Track of the Vintage:

Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, layered, exacting, and surprisingly harmonious when it all comes together
