The Lucky Dozen

We are thrilled to have had such great spring-like weather this past week for bottling 12 of our 2017 wines. Our winemaker Mary McDermott and her team were on the crushpad looking after the bottling of almost all our whites including: Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Reserve Pinot Gris, Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, 7 Blanc, Viognier, and Unoaked Chardonnay. They finished off with the Rosé (which is being released on Mother’s Day!).

The first 2017 white we’re releasing in early April will be 7 Blanc, our popular white blend. Enticingly fragrant, 7 Blanc is an aromatic blend of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Riesling and a touch of Muscat. Off-dry and unoaked, this vintage is like a fresh fruit cocktail in your glass. Entrancing floral characters underlie the spiciness. We suggest enjoying as a summer sipper or with Asian spiced foods.

Next up is the 2017 Rosé, which is crafted with Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes.  Unoaked, this vintage bursts with fresh strawberry and rhubarb aromas. This wine was made using two methods, direct to press to maintain fresh fruit character and the saignée method to add complexity and depth. Try pairing with classic Mediterranean dishes, charcuterie, cheese and antipasto.
