Hello and Welcome, This is the full-month April Climate Update from Amalie Robert Estate. Vintage 2023 in the Willamette Valley is off to fits and starts. Bud break was a couple of weeks later than usual but still coincided with the lilac bloom. We have had below normal cold and irregular precipitation interspersed with bursts of brilliant sunshine and record breaking high temperatures. The hail, for the most part, has pretty much run its course. And the window for potential frost damage is coming to a close. In for a penny, in for a pound, all part and parcel for growing world class Pinot Noir in Oregon’s Willamette Valley! Approximate reading time is 1.15 ARB's (Adult Recreational Beverage).
