Virtue Wine Release & Club Tasting Event

Virtue's 2022 vintage has arrived and we can’t wait to share our newest wines with you!

Dear Club & Prospective Club Members,

We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive celebration—the highly anticipated unveiling of our 2022 vintage wines! This annual club release event is a special opportunity for our valued members and those looking to join our wine club to be the first to experience our newest vintage. Enjoy a free tasting of our new wines and take home your annual 12-bottle club case.

The 2022 growing season in Washington has been dubbed the "impossible" vintage by many of our vineyard partners, due to three extreme events. It began with one of the coldest springs on record, followed by extreme mid summer heat, both of which delayed fruit ripening and risked crop maturity. As luck would have it, the vintage was saved by the warmest October ever recorded, which allowed for longer than normal hang times and extended phenolic development. The tumultuous harvest enabled us to produce a rare and historic vintage of exceptional quality.

Raise a glass with us as we celebrate the passion, dedication, and craftsmanship that define the 2022 Virtue vintage. We can't wait to share these great new wines with you!
