Winemaker's Notes
"Greetings from the cellar! We are excited for a busy Spring at the winery!
After a number of grueling nights tasting fabulous wine we have arrived at our final blends for the 2010 vintage and I am very pleased to say they are going to be wonderful wines. To our white wine lovers, get ready for a lively Sauvignon Blanc! We usually just use this varietal to blend with our Semillon for balance but this year we will do a varietal bottling simply because we are so impressed with the wine as a single varietal. Bottling day is scheduled for May 8th so if you would like to be involved give us a call at the winery and get on the first come, first serve list. It's a very busy day but a lot of fun as well!
Buds are beginning to swell in the vineyard they seem to have come through the winter very well. Pruning is nearly complete and the March rains have provided ample moisture for the spring growing season. We could be headed for a normal spring timetable for the vines. YEAH!
BBQ season is approaching quickly, be sure to stop by the tasting room and grab a bottle of Malbec or Rim Rock Red for a perfect pairing. Cheers!"
