Our Wines

Aged 16 months in French oak barriques, the wine exhibits pleasant notes of dark berries, vanilla and oak on the nose and palette, with smooth tannins on the finish.  It pairs well with grilled vegetables, veal and lamb dishes, in addition to standing beautifully on its own.  

Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc

Consistent with previous vintages of our Cabernet Franc, our 2018 is a well-balanced, medium-bodied red wine.  This wine underwent fermentation in half ton bins followed by 1 year of aging in 1 year old French Oak Barrels.  
Aromas of ripe fruit and smoked dark chocolate come off on the nose and linger on the palate. 
It makes an excellent pairing for pizza, pasta, pork and poultry dishes. 

Our most sensitive winter variety this 2016 Syrah is our first vintage post the "polar vortex" winters of 2014 and 2015 and it was well worth the wait.  Consistent with all our previous small-lot Syrahs, this wine was made exclusively with grapes hand-harvested from our vineyard.  It was fermented in half-ton bins and aged in French barriques for 18 months.  This wine exhibits dark fruit flavours, a spicy nose, and a silky smooth texture with soft tannins.  It pairs particularly well with grilled tuna, cured meats, braised beef and lamb!

In 2008 we planted a half-acre of two Italian varieties, Barbera and Nebbiolo.  Both native to our heritage that, based on our research, we felt could produce outstanding wines on our site.  The trail planted at a higher vine density versus the original vineyard planting to optimize vine balance and cropped to a low yield to maximize grape cluster quality.  This Nebbiolo represents our first release of Nebbiolo from the planting.  The heavy clay soil in our vineyard accentuated the classic tar aromas of the Nebbiolo grape.  Aged 34-months in French oak barriques to soften the tannins, the result is a perfectly-balanced fruit forward red wine.

Light in body this Pinot Gigio has a clean crisp finish, with hints of green apple on the nose and palate.  It makes an excellent pairing for light appetizers and salads, as well as working beautifully on its own as a cocktail wine.  

Light in body this Riesling is off-dry with a hint of sweetness to balance off the crisp acidity.  Notes of lemon and citrus on the nose and palate.  It makes an excellent pairing for salads, appetizers, and spicy dishes.  

Consistent with previous vintages, this Sauvignon Blanc is medium in body with characteristics of melon and grass on the nose and a clean crisp acidity on the finish.  Pairs well with semi-soft chevre cheese, grilled chicken, summer salads and grilled aspaparus.  

Greetings guests as they arrive or posing for pictures, our vineyard goats, Freddie & Vinny have become as much a part of the landscape as the vines. As a result of the numerous suggestions and in recognition of their popularity we have given them their own label on our 2017 Vidal Blanc. 

One of Ten 'EPIC 1867 Collection' wines highlighting the long winemaking history of the region.

Often seen performing goat yoga with guests, Marla the newest member of the vineyard crew has quickly become one of the more popular. As a result of her popularity, just like Freddie and Vinny a year ago, we have given Marla her own label. 

Our 2020 Rosé is made from the assemblage of Vidal Blanc and the bleed from our Cabernet Franc grapes.  The result is a medium-bodied Rosé with strawberry notes on the nose and a clean acidity balanced by a hint of sweetness to make it off-dry.  Excellent pairing for salads, seafood dishes and appetizers.  It also works beautifully on its own as a cocktail wine or summer poolside sipper.  

Our inaugural Sparkling Rosé is done in the charmat/tank method.  This Rosé displays a beauitful fruit character on the nose with a hint of residual sweetness to balance off the acidity and bubbles.  Incredibly versatile, it's the perfect pair to your next special occasion, brunch or to enjoy poolside throughout the remainder of the summer!
