Be a part of our group barrels OR bring your own group to make the wine of your choice! Stop by to taste & chat with Bill; he will also talk about a few blends for this season; get in soon ~ our barrels are beginning to fill up!
SOUTH AFRICAN PINOTAGE is South Africa’s signature wine; a cross-grafted varietal comprised of the Heritage (Cinsault) stock and the Pinot Noir grapes creating a dark red, complex wine with fruit that hangs on with age, softening the dryness. Enjoyed young or after aging, this medium-bodied wine offers a blend of fruit & earthy notes from start to finish
CHILEAN CARMENERE is blended with Cabernet Franc & Merlot creating a rich dark red wine. The Franc softens the intensity of the Carmenere while the Merlot brings a fruitiness of black cherries & figs
CHILEAN MALBEC offers a bouquet of dark fruits, plum & berry flavors with moderate tannins, a touch of Syrah adds a bit of the peppery note & body; this year Bill is blending the Malbec with a touch of Italian Nero de Avola
CHILEAN SYRAH stands boldly alone offering mouth-drying tannins with big-bodied aromas & flavors of dried berries, black pepper, tobacco & smoke
