2020 GOVERNOR'S CUP GOLD MEDAL AND "CASE" WINNER! This wine is a blend of 41% Merlot, 37% Petit Verdot and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 2 years in 25% new French oak barrels. This is a beautifully balanced wine with evolving red fruit aromatics and good complexity, rich tannin structure and a long finish.
Italian for “tiny bubbles,” the Bollicine dry sparkling wine is a blend of 30% Pinot Noir and 70% Chardonnay. A classic combination of yeasty toast notes with bright fresh apple. Aged in our cave for almost 2 years in the bottle, hand-riddled and made in the traditional method champenoise.
Fruity, aromatic and just a hint of sweetness at 1%. Harvested 8/16/17, we put ½ of the grapes in tank with the skins for 10 hours and ½ in direct press. This skin contact helps to showcase the gorgeous aromas and structure of this wine. The two were then fermented together in steel tank. Gewurz is intended to be enjoyed fresh and young!
