Wine Profile
Winemaker Notes
Winter provided a record-breaking rainfall - a welcome end to the 4-years of drought. Bloom and fruit set in May occurred under ideal conditions. Summer was warm but the vines weathered the heat well and maturity moved along at a steady pace. A short but intense heat wave during the first part of September brought brix levels up dramatically and winemakers waited for the pH, acids, flavor and color development in the grapes to catch up to sugar accumulation. The 2018 wine quality shows a lot of bright acidity and fresh varietal aromas in the white wines, and deep color, sweet fruit flavors. Looking like it will be another classic year! - Brooks Painter, Director of Winemaking
Food Pairing Notes
An excellent accompaniment to light cheeses, fresh berries, or simply for raising a glass in celebration with family and friends!

Very good wine. Light color, touch of fruit taste. Price a problem.

apple pear This sparkling wine tasted sweet to me, but it wasn’t one of their sweet wines. It was very light and fruity. One of my favorite sparkling wines I’ve ever had. You definitely want to drink it on its own to appreciate the taste.
