Introducing New Club Release 2017 Vintage Introducing New Club Release 2017 Vintage Oregon Pinot Noir 2017 Oregon Pinot Noir ($36) On the nose you’ll be greeted with aromas of cherry cola, earthy mushroom, hints of licorice, cinnamon and clove, cedar, nutmeg. The wine gives way to flavors of pomegranate, red currant, and spice. This vineyard yields a bigger Pinot Noir that delivers a mouthfeel of dominant fruit component up front with nice acidity, beautifully balanced, soft tannin and quick finish. This field blend of Pinot Noir spent its first nine months in a combination of a 2 year-old French oak and neutral half barrel before wrapping up its second year in 4 year-old French oak plus one year old French oak half barrel. 36 cases produced | Tressler Vineyard | Willamette Valley, Chehalem Mountains AVA Italian Varietals & Blends 2017 Columbia Valley Sangiovese ($34) As you swirl you’ll see the beautiful dark, deep ruby color and pick up the aroma of dill, lavender, floral, elderberry, and yes, bacon fat. You may detect flavors of cranberry, tart cherry, blackberry, and strawberry and pick up the soft tannin in the mouth, with tart blueberry (acidity) in the lingering finish. Our Sangiovese is crafted in a Super-Tuscan style with 7.8% Merlot. This blend aged 22 months in a 3 year-old French oak barrel (which at that point is essentially neutral). 33 cases produced | Alder Ridge Vineyard | Columbia Valley, Horse Heaven Hills AVA 2017 Columbia Valley Barbera ($39) This full-bodied Barbera exudes an aroma of maple, brown sugar, cinnamon, mint, thyme, eucalyptus, leather, and even a little smoke.

    UNIT 3 Vineyard Practices Conserving H2O ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES L’Ecole No 41 is a leader and active proponent of the growing sustainable farming program in the Walla Walla Valley. VINEA (The Winegrower’s Sustainable Trust) is a voluntary group of Walla Walla Valley winegrowers pursuing sustainability in the valley. VINEA works with Oregon’s LIVE (Low-Input Viticulture and Enology) to provide internationally accredited third-party certification to winegrowers in the Pacific Northwest, one of the highest certifications in the world for sustainable viticulture. Sustainability is particularly relevant in the field of viticulture where the vineyard is seen as a large integrated farm, where plant, animal and microbial life, aided by soil and water quality, contribute to the overall health of the environment and therefore the development and quality of the crop. Protecting the health of the vineyard’s The Walla Walla Valley receives only soil and surrounding environment is intrinsic to enhancing terroir. 8-12 inches of rain annually, so while All of L’Ecole’s Estate wines are Certified Sustainable and Salmon Safe. the need to irrigate our vineyards is essential, it must be managed Benefits of Sustainable Farming meticulously.

    2020 SANGIOVESE ROSÉ Airfield Estates is a fourth generation family farm based in the Yakima Valley cultivating a wide range of premium grapes and crafting estate grown wines of exceptional quality. As the name suggests, Airfield Estates has ties to aviation. A portion of the family property operated as a training base for hundreds of Army Air Corps pilots during World War II. The pride, passion, and dedication of these heroes provide a great source of inspiration as we strive to pay tribute to them with our wines. VINEYARD Established in 1968, our estate vineyard was one of the first commercial vineyards in Washington State. Our first plantings were Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the years, we have expanded to over 20 varieties spanning approximately 830 acres. Nestled on the foothills of the Rattlesnake Mountains in the heart of the Yakima Valley AVA, our vineyard has one of the most spec- tacular views of Mount Rainier and Mount Adams. These sunny slopes are blessed with a long growing period, extended summer daylight, and cool evenings that yield well-balanced, world‐class wines. VINTAGE The 2020 vintage will go down as a very memorable year. The growing season was exceptional with a mild winter, warm spring, and moderate summer. Bud break occurred 2 weeks earlier than normal and veraison was well ahead of schedule too. Just as we were preparing for an early start to harvest, wildfires in the Northwest created a thick cloud of smoke over Washington State. Concerns arose about exposure to smoke. Taking a cautious approach, we delayed harvest until the smoke cleared and conducted trials to determine the effect of smoke on our grapes.

VINTAGE The 2019 Vintage threw everything it could at us winemakers. We started off with a very mild winter, then out of nowhere we saw record snow accumulations in late February that lasted until early March. Thankfully this did not affect buds on the dormant grapes, but it did cause a delay in bud break; about 2 weeks later than normal. Delayed bud break then delays ripening overall so we did see a later than usual ripening to get to our optimal ripeness, we did see a decent amount of heat accumulation, but the 2019 vintage will go down as a cooler vintage for Washington State.
