2023 Trine
Tasting Notes
The 2023 Trine is immediately expressive with aromas of strawberry, blackberry, and plum, layered with dusty rose and tobacco leaf. Hints of sage and earthy spice add complexity, lending the wine a distinctly Walla Walla character. On the palate, red and dark fruit carry through with elegance and balance. Its polished texture is supported by fresh acidity, integrated tannins, and age-worthy structure.
The Year
The 2023 growing season in the Walla Walla Valley began with a late budbreak in the end of April through early May. Due to the ideal spring weather, bloom happened in record time, in less than 30 days in parts of the vineyards. Summer was one of the hottest on record, but with steady but not extreme heat, leading to ripe fruit that maintained freshness and acidity, and kicked off an early harvest in September. The resulting wines showcase ripe luscious tannins, balanced tension and complexity, promising exciting developments over the next decade and beyond.
