Celebrating the New Wines!

After a successful inaugural harvest at our new solar powered winery at our Stoney Creek Vineyard in Fair Play, we are happily looking after our first estate grown and produced wines from the 2010 vintage. 

 

Our New Releases
The first wines from the 2009 vintage are sourced from local vineyards throughout El Dorado.  While working closely with our growers to maximize the potential of the fruit from these truly unique vineyards, we were able to take advantage of the excellent growing season marked by moderate temperatures, minimal heat spikes, and no rain until all of the fruit was in the winery. As a whole the reds are more structured, darker and concentrated than their 2008 counterparts, while the whites are more racy and focused with higher natural acidity and lower alcohols.

They include the following:  (click on the name of the wine to learn more!)
