Annual Release
We're thrilled to bring you the new vintage of Megan Anne Cellars!"The 2018 vintage in the Willamette Valley marks the fifth year in a row where mother nature cooperated nicely. Akin to 2008, we had dryer than normal summer with no rain, which expedited ripening somewhat, as well as promoted good concentration and silky tannin development. Overall a truly winning combo, which will mark 2018 as one of the great vintages to collect." - Winemaker Isabelle Meunier
