The 2025 vintage has officially wrapped, and as we step back and look at the season as a whole, one thing is clear: this year was something special.
From the first estate fruit arriving in mid-August to the final barrels being tucked away in November, Vintage 2025 brought smooth sailing, steady ripening, and some of the most exciting wines we’ve ever had in the cellar.
Across four states, Utah, Washington, Oregon, and California, we harvested a diverse array of fruit totaling 161 tons and representing 13 varieties.
Here’s how the season unfolded:
Last Red to Barrel: Horse Heaven Hills Cab – November 10
Warm, dry summer temperatures pushed the vintage earlier than usual, with estate fruit arriving quickly and in tight succession. This pattern continued along the West Coast—our California Sauvignon Blanc and Washington Chardonnay both came in ahead of their typical timelines.
Then September brought a welcome cool-down. Ripening steadied, allowing fruit to arrive at a manageable pace—every winemaker’s dream. This prevented fermentation overload and ensured each lot received the focused attention it deserved—no stuck fermentations. No sunburn. No poorly timed rain. Just clean, balanced fruit.
Today, everything is moving beautifully:
So far, the wines are showing excellent promise.
After selling out quickly last year, we’re thrilled to have doubled the volume of our Utah-grown estate wines. With one vintage under our belt, we were able to experiment more with style and expression, and the results have been rewarding.
Our most requested variety has officially joined the Purple Sky lineup.
We crafted two styles to satisfy both sides of the Chardonnay world:
We’ll also be releasing a barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc—a new spin on a fan favorite.
Launching next year, our first-ever membership program will feature wines created exclusively for club members. These small-batch releases will highlight both beloved classics and lesser-known varieties that deserve more recognition.
This year’s club will include one red and one white, both still secret, but here are your hints:
More details will come in a dedicated announcement.
While we don’t pin ourselves to strict deadlines, here is our general timeline:
As always, we bottle based on readiness, not the calendar. If a wine needs more time, we give it the time it deserves. Our goal is simple: to release each wine at its absolute best.
