2022 Trine
Tasting Notes
Upon first smell, the 2022 Trine reveals a concentrated bouquet of blackcurrant and blackberry cobbler. A swirl of the glass unveils vibrant notes of fresh strawberry, layered with rose petals, tobacco, chocolate, and earthy undertones. On the palate, the brightness continues with red fruits and blueberry, accented by hints of herbs de Provence and a refined minerality. This wine is a quintessential expression of Washington elegance—round, supple, balanced, and poised for graceful aging.
The Year
The 2022 growing season began with below average temperatures and above normal precipitation across the Walla Walla Valley. The cold start resulted in fewer growing days for the spring and early summer overall, but the extra rainfall and mountain snowpack prepared the area for multiple triple-digit days beginning in July. The heat contributed to optimal fruit set and a slightly larger crop. With an idyllic September and October, the grapes were able to develop a perfect balance between flavor and sugar, acid and tannin, and overall great fruit expression.
