Vineyards
The 2005 harvest was a most typical Washington State growing season . A cool spring and hot summer followed by a long fall led to great ripening. Sugars were moderate and the acids very good.
The 2005 Fume Blanc is the perfect example of a great vintage and my philosophy of blending many vineyard sites to make a truly exciting wine. Here is a breakdown of the vineyard used in this Fume Blanc:
Alder Creek Columbia Valley
Sagemore Columbia Valley
Stonehenge Columbia Gorge
Wahluke Vineyard Columbia Valley
Remember, as always, there is Semillon in our Fume Blanc: this year we blended 6 % Semillon into this wine.
