Bud break arrived on schedule in early April, but a cool, wet spring led to delayed flowering and reduced fruit set across many varieties. An unusually cool summer produced dramatic differences in ripening between warmer and cooler sites, with veraison extending well into September in some cooler areas. However, naturally low yields, combined with over a month of consistently warm weather from late September through late October, produced phenolic ripeness and flavor development with extraordinary natural acidity. Cool, wet weather returned in late October, an appropriate bookend to a challenging harvest. Overall, 2010 should produce balanced, elegant wines with lower alcohol and higher acidity.

This was a second consecutive warm year, with many growers reporting that it was their warmest year on record. Much like the year before, the warm temperatures advanced most markers of the growing season. July and August saw record temperatures in some locations, and the warm temperatures continued all the way into mid-October.

The 2017 vintage started out with a cool, wet winter and cool spring. As a result, bud break was behind historical averages and significantly behind the most recent warm vintages of 2013-2015. Bloom was also slightly delayed. The early part of summer saw average temperatures followed by above average temperatures in July and August. As a result, heat accumulation was a bit above average for the season, despite the cool start. Harvest began right on schedule but in the second half of September, temperatures cooled considerably, which delayed ripening. This allowed for luxurious amounts of hang time without the threat of increased sugar accumulation, stretching harvest into the first week of November. As a result, sugars were slightly down in 2017 whereas acid levels were up.

The 2019 growing season was unique. Late winter weather left snow in the vineyard in February into March, delaying pruning and other vineyard work. This also contributed to greater soil moisture, increased canopy growth, and slightly delayed bud break and bloom. Summer temperatures were cooler and considerably more even than in recent years, with a notable lack of heat spikes. Overall, temperatures across the growing season were slightly above 20-year averages but were nowhere near as warm as the years that preceded it. A minor frost event at the end of September was followed by a series of larger, statewide frosts and freezes in early to mid-October. As a result, tonnage was down from recent years. Cooler temperatures contributed to lower overall sugar accumulation and higher acidities.

2020 was a relatively warm year with a significantly smaller crop than average. Bud break began in mid-April, well aligned with historical averages. Late July and early August saw some heat spikes, but, overall, it was a fairly moderate, even summer.  This was followed by a hot beginning of September. October temperatures were above average before a freeze event October 25th brought the growing season to a close. This all contributed to significantly smaller cluster weights and berry sizes across varieties. While the crop was smaller, the combination of smaller berries and extended hang time is traditionally a recipe for high quality wines.

Wine grape growers were pleased to see a return to “normal” weather for the 2012 harvest. Warm, sunny and consistent weather during the growing season with no rain lead to fruit ripening on schedule and helping winemakers avoid a compressed harvest as some had seen in 2010 and 2011. Winemakers were thankful that the warm days cooled off significantly during the night. This dramatic diurnal shift allowed the grapes to retain their natural acidity, which will balance out the plush, ripe flavors that will result from the 2012 vintage.

Cool spring temperatures and high wind conditions led to late bud break and a small quantity of poor fruit set. A very hot, dry summer (the hottest July on record for many sites) accelerated the ripening of sugars and a need to pick most grapes by early October, earlier than generally practiced in the past 15 years. Night-time temperatures were slightly higher than normal, as well. An even, warm, dry September helped balance the sugars/acids and allow phenolic ripeness/flavor development to occur. Colors were deep, tannins developed quickly. Early frost hit vines on October 11, damaging 15% of the harvest. Overall, 2009 was a compressed harvest with little uniformity but good to very good overall quality.

This also contributed to greater soil moisture, increased canopy growth, and slightly delayed bud break and bloom. Summer temperatures were cooler and considerably more even than in recent years, with a notable lack of heat spikes. Overall, temperatures across the 2019 growing season were slightly above 20-year averages but were nowhere near as warm as the years that preceded it. Unusual for Washington in recent years, phenolic maturity came earlier than sugar ripeness, and many winemakers waited for Brix to accumulate and acids to drop. Cooler than average September temperatures delayed picking for many. A minor frost event at the end of September was followed by a series of larger, statewide frosts and freezes in early to mid-October.. As a result, tonnage was down from recent years. Despite these challenges, growers and winemakers alike were excited about the quality of fruit they picked 2019. Cooler temperatures contributed to lower overall sugar accumulation and higher acidities, which many welcomed.
