The 2007 growing season was very similar to the 2005 vintage – warm at the beginning and average temperatures throughout the rest of the season. As with 2005, this vintage lacked rainfall from the start of the season, which led to smaller canopy growth and good, early fruit exposure. Ripening conditions and temperatures were excellent and low wind was reported throughout the season. Bud break occurred right on schedule and the onset of veraison was one week earlier than usual, an indication of a smaller crop with intense flavours and good sugar development.

Snoqualmie’s Naked wines are produced from 100% organically grown grapes from USDSA certified organic vineyards in the Columbia Valley American Viticultural Area.
Also referred to as the “O” zone, these vineyard sites enjoy a green cover of beneficial native grasses and cereal grains, which helps reduce soil erosion and provides habitat to attract beneficial insects. Grapes sourced from these special vineyards create juicy, fruity white wines and red with bright, balanced finishes.

Grapes were destemmed and crushed into fermenters for a two-day cold soak. After inoculating with Prise de Mousse yeast, the grapes were fermented on the skins for three days with gentle, twice daily spray-overs to achieve additional extraction of colour and tannin. Malolactic fermentation was induced. After fermentation, the wine aged 9 months in 12% new barrels.

Cranberry-like fruit aromas with spice notes on the nose, followed by spring berry flavours on the palate with ample structure and a hint of oak.
