Vintage
The 2017 crop is described by many winemakers as a classic, especially for the hallmark Pinot Noir wines. Unlike the previous three vintages, temperatures were more moderate in 2017, and due to a late start to bud break and flowering, the season saw an extended harvest take place under near-perfect weather conditions. Initial results suggest that 2017 in Oregon should fall somewhere on the spectrum between the warmer recent vintages and the cooler years that had defined Willamette since the early days.
