The Primitivo and Petite Sirah we source from this vineyard were harvested on September 18. We brought in our StoneTree Zinfandel on September 22. The Coyote Canyon Primitivo from the Horse Heaven Hills was harvested on October 1. The Avery Zinfandel near Maryhill, Washington was brought in on October 23. Our coolest site, Les Collines Vineyard in Walla Walla, Washington was picked last (Half on October 25th and the balance brought in on October 28th). These wines are now in barrel and are presently undergoing malolactic fermentation. During the May 2009 Memorial Day weekend, we plan on showing barrel samples of some of these young wines. Our first wines from the 2008 vintage will be released November 2009. Angel Vine Carlton, Oregon 97111 Telephone: 503.969.7209 E-Mail: zinman@AngelVine.net
