  • Winemaking Notes

    Cold winter temperatures on New Year’s Eve 2017 coupled with a very hot summer growing season and a wet fall, gave us a slight reduction in crop due to winter injury and drought stress in the vineyard. The warm growing season was a blessing for red varietals that weathered the winter temperatures giving very ripe grapes and an early harvest overall.  This wine is big and complex with smooth, silky yet firm tannins upon release and will continue to develop in your cellar for another 7+ years depending on your taste preferences. 

  • Food Pairing

    Chicken cacciatore, Blackened chicken, Bolognese, Beef Wellington,  goat cheese and herb stuffed mushroom, prosciutto wrapped figs, baked brie with jam preserves, charcuterie boards, blue cheese, dark chocolate.
