Co-Ferment
Syrah-Viognier
We are pleased to release our 2011 Syrah-Viognier. This is a very fun wine to make. Because it is co-fermented. Meaning we harvest the Syrah and the Viognier at the same time and the blend is completed in the vineyard with the grapes. Most of our wines are brought to the winery and fermented in separate tanks, then barrel age [...]
THE BOSS IS BACK!
We are very pleased to announce our newest release of an old favorite; The Boss. As always The Boss is a powerful blend crafted around the most important component Petite Sirah. Every year we enjoy blending this wine. We taste through our cellar and select unique wines with character that can contribute to the final blend. This years blend [...]
Barrel Select: what are we selecting?

Some new oak barrels an some as many and six years ol [...]

A few difficult lots remain in the tanks as we coax them along and begin monitoring malolactic fermentation. The rest of the wine has been barreled down to the cellar.
The year has been a cool one; state-wid [...]
Newest Edition to the Winery
A few weeks ago while filling barrels in the cellar, it became apparent that there was something missing in the winery. The winery felt cold and dark, (while great for wine) it was not the greatest working environment. Turning the music on helped (a little Jackson Brown will improve any day). But there was still something missing. The winery [...]
A Little Off the Top: Pruning the Vin...
With the weather cooperating we arrived at the vineyard a little before 7am. It was clear and cold but the sun was out all day which was a nice contrast from the last few weeks of overcast weather. After a brief meeting to discuss pruning everyone set-off down there individual rows. A few cuts are made to remove the older canes from last y [...]
