Eastern WA wet and cold 2022 winter was followed by a cool spring growing season. This has pushed grape maturation back to a “normal” pace in 2023, which we appreciate after experiencing unpredictable vintages over the past couple of years (a very late 2022 harvest and an extremely hot and early 2021 vintage).

Sauvignon Blanc was the first to be picked this year kicking off the season. We’re now in full swing as we’ve been slowly pulling in many of our reds such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. 

At Destiny Ridge, we are thrilled to be back into a typical growing season allowing the vines to fully ripen our beloved grapes.
