The wait is over! Harvest 2025 has officially begun in the Willamette Valley. Warm, steady weather pushed bloom ahead of schedule – about five days earlier than usual – and the vineyards have looked vibrant ever since. The first bins of fruit have already come through the cellar doors, and the energy is electric. Sparkling grapes led the charge earlier this month, and now Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are rolling in fast, keeping our crew on their toes.

In other words, things are about to get very busy, very quickly. With such a condensed season, fruit across the valley may come in almost all at once, making for an action-packed harvest. The good news: healthy vines, balanced crop loads, and plenty of energy in the cellar as we process the 2025 vintage.

We’ll continue to share as more unfolds, but for now, know that the 2025 wines are already taking shape. It’s one of the most exciting times of the year, and we’re thrilled to bring you along for the ride.

Cheers!
Derek, Winemaker
