Holiday Trio
Chardonnay Reserve 2022
Our Reserve Chardonnay is just that -- the best of the best, reserved just for you. Made from only the highest quality of the Chardonnay grapes we grow, and with inspiration from Burgundy winemaking techniques, this beauty is then aged 9 months in oak (57% of that in French oak, if you’re curious). All to say, our Reserve Chardonnay lives up to the label, with complex aromas, and a fruitiness balanced with hints of poached pear and brioche. Balance here is key, and this one hits it.
Nose: nutmeg, ginger, golden raisin, beeswax, honeysuckle
Palate: poached pear, brioche, caramelized leeks, cantaloupe, yellow apple
Finish: light oak, high acid, medium body, light dryness
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Cabernet Franc 2022
Cabernet Franc is considered a signature grape of our wine-growing region, and we celebrate it as such. You’ll find notes of red currant, cranberry, and raspberry with hints of milk chocolate, black olive, and red cherries on the palate, and a finish that has light plus body and medium tannins. We recommend enjoying glasses by the fire or backyard grill or with family around the table.
Nose: red currant, cranberry, raspberry, sour cherry, black pepper
Palate: milk chocolate, black olive, red cherries, red pepper, raisin
Finish: light plus body, medium tannins
Varietal: 94% Cabernet Franc, 5% Tannat, 1% Malbec
Bundoran Blue 2019
The 2019 Bundoran Blue continues the tradition as a tribute to the Bundoran Farm community where Pippin Hill resides while also paying homage to the signature color palette of our sister event company, Easton Events. And despite the “blue” on the label, it is our signature, and ever-soothing, red blend. Rich up front with plum, blueberry, and traces of white pepper, the body remains grippy which emphasizes the dark fruit notes with hints of red beet. The finesse of the finish highlights the acidity while lingering mushroom notes make this one of our best food wines. Let it breathe, breathe deeply yourself, then sit back and enjoy.
Nose: blueberry, clay, potting soil, star anise, dill
Palate: plum, red beet, white pepper, mushroom
Finish: medium acid, medium tannin
Varietal: 34% Merlot, 33% Petit Verdot, 33% Cabernet Franc
