Vineyard and winery update

Events

»» Vineyard and winery update

This past summer was again cooler than normal - good for grapes and people. The harvest went well with excellent quality. We took every grape and were wishing for a little more. We are making plans to plant again this spring.

Crush was followed by our first ever bottling done here. The newly released 2008 Syrah is estate bottled. That means the grapes never left our property.
