In 2025, the vintage in the Northern Willamette Valley and David Hill began with a cool spring, leading up to a cooler-than-average summer. The vineyard had great soil moisture, a nice canopy, and good fruit set with no dramatic heat spikes from summer through the end of August. Though there was initially a fear that the vintage wouldn’t ripen in time, September's daytime temperatures were warmer-than-average, leading to quick ripening across the entire vineyard. Classically a warmer harvest results in bolder flavor profiles, more complexity, fuller body, and a more prominent tannin structure.
