2019 Vintages Could Have “Intense” Flavors

The Idaho Statesman’s Nicole Foy wrote an article about the 2019 season in Idaho’s wine region. During her reporting, she interviewed Mike Williamson and one thing that he relayed was that wine from grapes harvested before the freeze will have stronger fresh-fruit flavors, with a bit more acidity and brighter tones. The grapes harvested after the freeze likely will produce wine with mature fruit flavors and “jammy” notes. We will be tasting the white wines in a few months, in April or May. We won’t get to those red wines for a year or two at this point in time. Follow this link to the full story with The Idaho Statesman.
