2020 Vidal Blanc from Washington County, Maryland. Aged in stainless steel for 5 months, this wonderful wine has soft fruit, balanced crisp acidity, and is fermented completely dry. The perfect addition to your spring and summer days or evenings. It is gentle enough to drink on its own, but it will also pair nicely with seafood, almost any kind of cheese, and even spicy food.

Our 2016 Sparkling Wine, called Le Bubbly, is made from California Chardonnay grapes. Made in the traditional Champagne Method, this Sparkling is barrel fermented and aged for 13 months, then racked and bottled, where secondary fermentation occurred. We let it bottle ferment for nearly 3 years, gently building up a natural carbonation. This sparkling is dry, light, crisp and refreshing, with hints of pear, citrus and apricot.

Our 2020 Ruby Rose is made from Merlot grapes, crushed and cold-soaked for 17 hours, then pressed to give an amazing ruby color. It is made in the classic French style, fermented dry and aged in a neutral French Oak barrel for 5 months. Soft and subtle aroma, hints of tart cherry and a clean, crisp finish. Delicious served slightly chilled, pairs perfectly with Thanksgiving dinner, or your favorite cheese.

We took our barrel-fermented Chardonnay and then we put the last 15 gallons into a new oak whiskey barrel with a heavy char. It sat in the barrel for 2 years, giving it notes of caramel, toffee and vanilla. Is it a wine? Is it a whiskey? Is it a liqueur? One sip may not be enough to answer the question....

Our 2019 Merlot is made from California grapes, fermented completely dry, but the beautiful fruit has an almost sweet quality. Full bodied but gentle tannins, amazing fruit bouquet, and notes of cherry, black currant, dried fruit and hints of pepper. 9 months in French Oak gives this wine an almost cab-like quality, but very smooth and gentle finish. Pairs well with red meat, cheese, holds up well to spicy dishes, and makes a great dessert paired with dark chocolate.

2016 Delightful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot grapes fermented and aged separately for 18 months then blended and aged in neutral French Oak barrels for an additional 18 months. Combined with the perfect amount of sweetness, this wine is a delicious after dinner drink with a piece of dark chocolate or your favorite strong cheese. Everyone should end their evening with this Good Night Kiss!
