Spring Sips
Three Wines you'll enjoy as the weather warms up!
Viognier 2021 - While the color and aroma may suggest a sweet wine, Viogniers are predominantly dry and are known for producing heavy aromatics with low acidity. Our 2021 vintage is fruit-forward with a creamy feel and light acidity, making it delightful to sip or pair with food.
Nose: honeysuckle, jasmine, chamomile, fig
Palate: lemon zest, cantaloupe, green guava, white peppercorn
Finish: light minerality, light acid
Blend: 94% Viognier, 6% Petit Manseng
Rose 2021 - Fruity and floral in the aromatics, the palate offers hints of blood orange and cranberry that give way to rosemary, with an added touch of pine, and a neutral finish that goes down refreshingly smooth. After a full day of gardening or perhaps hammock reading, this Rosé will be your wind-down secret weapon.
Nose: juicy watermelon, hibiscus, strawberry, pink grapefruit
Palate: blood orange, cranberry, rosemary, pine
Finish: neutral, light acid, citric finish
Blend: 59% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Chardonel, 1% Roussanne
Red Pump 2021 - The sweet nose brings to mind black cherry and raspberry followed by deeper fruit flavors of prune and raisin, with a finish that’s lightly acidic and with light tannins. Keep this one on deck for a backyard barbecue, or a relaxing gathering with friends.
Nose: black cherry, raspberry, prune, raisin, balsamic
Palate: sour cherry, pomegranate, cola nut, red licorice
Finish: light finish, light tannin, and acidity
Blend: 45.7% Cabernet Franc, 26.2% Merlot, 14.7% Chambourcin, 4.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4.6% Tannat, 4% Norton
