2021 Pinot Noir Rosé
We are nearing the end of the 2021 Pinot Noir Rosé, which entered April with just three cases left and is exclusively available to our wine club members this month. This Rosé was a part of a 2021 season that saw low yields due to a long, warm season with below-average rainfalls. Because of that, you’ll notice a bright acidity in this wine, coupling with the appealing aromas and flavors of strawberries and cherries. Having friends over for a Taco Tuesday night? Give this wine a try.

2022 Pinot Grigio
You are among the first to try our 2022 Pinot Grigio, a new estate wine released this month. This Pinot Grigio has a palate of honey and lemon and an aroma of fresh apricots and stone fruits. In 2022, our vineyards had great results, bringing us wines with great structure and body. We have Pinot Gris at three different vineyard sites. One site was picked early to bring that bright flavor you taste on the front end, while the other two had a later harvest to provide a subtle dryness and crisp acidity you taste at the end. It’s a perfect wine for a date night with pasta, board games, and your favorite feel-good movie.

2018 Merlot
The 2018 Merlot features a similar leaner style of Merlot that we enjoyed with the 2017 vintage. You can taste the subtle hints of cedar to add to the dryness of the wine along with the dark fruits to create a smooth finish. Have family visiting town? Get this wine ready to pair with your nice dinner and you’ll be good to go.
