2023 Harvest Update

2023 should be another stunning vintage for Washington State. We’ve already harvested the Enchantress Chardonnay and it is safely in barrel (our 2nd earliest pick date for French Creek Vineyard), and next week we will be picking our Blackrock Vineyard Cabernet Franc for the 2023 Magician’s Assistant Rose’! The reds were moving along at a fast pace during August, however, we had a few weather fronts along with some cooler temps move through in the past week that have slowed things down a bit—which means extra hang time and even more intense flavors are on the way. We have an amazing harvest team this year and they are super excited to help us craft our world-class wines!
