CASE SPECIAL | |
November Case Special - Ends Nov 30th! 25% off of a case (12 bottles) of our 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon featuring Nathanael Greene on the label. Join Wine Club for maximum discount. Tasting Notes: Imbued with a deep garnet hue, this hand-harvested, limited production Cab has a ripe palate of blackberries, currants and cassis with herbal notes in the aroma and subtle hints of menthol and spearmint. Full-bodied with structured tannins and good acidity, the wine has velvet mouthfeel with a strong backbone. |

A Wonderful (and Lengthy!) Harvest We picked half of the Sauvignon Blanc plants on Sunday August 25th ... and finished with the Cab on Halloween - most extended ever, thanks to gyrating temps! Many vineyards reported lower yields (fewer tons per acre), attributed to a late frost and some heat spikes this summer. We were pleased to have a bountiful crop for Sauv Blanc, Malbec, and Cab, normal yields in all others with the exception of Zin - which was a smaller crop than last year, but still great looking fruit!

A Nation of the Well Informed
"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."
Liberty Preserved
"I must indulge a hope that Britain's liberty, as well as ours, will eventually be preserved by the virtue of America."
-1775
Popular Government
"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both."
Liberty Preservation
"Liberty cannot be preserved with a general knowledge among the people."
Common Sense v Conjecture
"When we leave common sense and give ourselves up to conjecture, there can be no certainty, no security in our reasonings."

Harvest ! ! ! We picked half of the Sauvignon Blanc plants on Sunday August 25th and the other half on September 3rd, yielding a total of 2.8 tons. We pick at night so the fruit stays cool and doesn't breakdown before processing the next day. We pick on two different dates as part of our plan to differentiate two styles of SB again this year - one leaning fresher+green+crisp at 23.5 brix and the other trending lush+tropical at ~25 brix! The Zin was picked on the evening of September 16th under a full harvest moon! The rest of the red varietals are getting there: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Syrah. For more pics, videos, and updates, please follow us on Insta, Facebook, and X/Twitter. |
