This wine is from United States, Washington region, Columbia Valley sub-region. ABOUT THE VINTAGEIn Columbia Valley, 2002 proved to be a challenging year for early ripening varieties such asChardonnay. Very warm growing conditions in late August and early September caused sugarsto accumulate quickly in the fruit. At our estate vineyard we compensated for these warmconditions by continuing to irrigate the vines right up to the time of harvest.ABOUT THE VINEYARDOur estate vineyard's unique location at a broad expanse of the Columbia River in easternWashington allows it to grow superior grapes. The vast river moderates the temperature,extending the grapes' hangtime on the vines during the long summer, yet protecting the vinesin the winter. The vineyards' location on the northeast side of the ridge protects it from winddamage. It is one of the largest estate-owned single vineyards in the state. Due to the improvementsin grape growing over the last 10 to 15 years, we are now growing better balancedgrapevines. These vines are less vigorous and don't draw up late season water like the vinesdid in the past. The end result is that we can spoon feed the vines water to slow down thesugar accumulation, allowing fruit flavor development to catch up, which is exactly whathappened in 2002.

This wine is from United States, Washington region, Columbia Valley sub-region. The Cabernet Sauvignon on Canoe Ridge Vineyard is always dependable. Thevines weren't even aware of the two months of wind that threatened our Merlot.Still, we worked harder in the vineyard than any previous year to adjust for theunusual weather. It was the third coldest growing season on record, making it achallenge to ripen the fruit, but the fall warmth allowed the fruit to reach full flavormaturity and produce the best vintage of the 1990s for Canoe Ridge Vineyard.
