The 2020 growing season began with a mild dry winter, leading to a relatively cool spring. Bud break was at 50% by April 9th, which is one of the earliest on record. Cool and wet conditions during the month of June resulted in a very small crop and fruit set with small berries. The 2020 summer was very mild with few extreme heat events.\u003cbr\u003eO U R  V I N E Y A R D\u003cbr\u003eNestled in the eastern foothills of Oregon’s Coastal Range, on the wild western edge of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, the\u003cbr\u003erange’s peaks to the west and south buffer maritime winds and rain from the Pacific Ocean, creating a more  temperate growing season distinct from neighboring vineyard sites. Planted in 2005-2006 to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay Dijon clones, the 194-acre vineyard perches in thin marine sedimentary soils, and diversity of block exposures and elevation offer a diverse palette for our farming and winemaking team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGran Moraine wines shine a light on the monologue of the Gran Moraine Vineyard, lifting its voice and vibrant energy through a signature style of elegance and restraint, with a fresh through-line of acidity.
