Winter Release | First Look at the 2024 Vintage

As we welcome February, I’m excited to share our first wines from the 2024 vintage — an early and expressive glimpse into a year that truly reflects the balance and beauty of the Dundee Hills.

The 2024 growing season began slowly, with a cool spring that encouraged even vine growth and thoughtful development. As summer warmth arrived, the vines responded steadily, carrying healthy, generous clusters through harvest. Cooler moments in late summer helped preserve freshness and natural acidity, allowing the fruit to reach full ripeness without losing precision. The wines from this vintage feel both vibrant and grounded — expressive now, with the structure to evolve beautifully over time.

What excites me most about these first releases is how clearly each vineyard speaks. These wines capture a moment where site, season, and intention align. They are approachable today, yet layered with the depth and energy that will reward patience — a reminder of why we farm these hills with care and restraint.

The 2024 Archer’s Edge Pinot Noir always feels like a gateway to the estate, and this vintage captures that sense of place effortlessly. Immediately engaging yet quietly structured, it draws you in with its approachability while revealing depth beneath the surface. Smooth, refined tannins give the wine an undeniable charm in its youth, while hinting at the graceful aging potential that defines Archer’s Edge at its best.

The 2024 Renegade Ridge Pinot Noir is always worth the wait, and this vintage delivers with both energy and depth. A subtle savory edge shapes the aromatics, while fine, polished tannins bring balance and length. Despite its concentration, the wine finishes with remarkable freshness—inviting another sip and another moment of reflection, a hallmark of Renegade Ridge’s expressive character.

Available to members first, the 2024 Renegade Ridge Chardonnay marks just its second vintage and is tasting beautifully. Sourced from Renegade Ridge’s east-facing slope and fermented and aged in large French oak puncheons, the wine shows a bright, focused expression of the site. Crisp and linear, with texture that builds quietly through the finish, it’s a Chardonnay that feels alive, refreshing now and beautifully poised to develop with time. This is a wonderful opportunity to add a few bottles to your club order and follow its evolution over time

I’m grateful to share these wines with you as the first chapter of the 2024 vintage. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your continued support allows us to farm with intention, make wine patiently, and let each vineyard speak in its own voice.

Her connection to the winery began long before she joined the staff—after attending many events as a guest, she found herself inspired to pursue a role with the team.

Before joining Archery Summit, Angela spent ten years working for the McMinnville School District, an experience that allowed her to support her community while honing her interpersonal and organizational skills.

She finds her work at Archery Summit both challenging and deeply rewarding, and she remains grateful for the opportunity to grow within the wine industry.
