Wine & Beverages
We are proud to offer a selection of our own wines that showcase our commitment to quality and our love of the land.
Sparkling Chardonnay
Any event becomes a celebration with this blanc de blanc style sparkling white. Forced carbonation inspires strong acidity and dryness, while the wine’s chardonnay grapes introduce flavor notes of pear, lemon, and apple.
Pairings: Oysters, crab cakes, and cream cheese
Sparkling Rosé
Don’t let the delicate color of this wine fool you—its dry acidity stands up to strong flavors. The nose suggests fruits and minerals, while the astringent finish prepares you for the next bite. Perfect for your happy hour celebration!
Pairings: Cured meats and salamis, pizza, and spicy dishes
Sauvignon Blanc
2022
Crisp and refreshing New World style, with notes of passionfruit, kiwi, and honeydew. We love it with tilapia, crab, and herbed vegetables.
Petit Manseng
2021
The rich golden color hints at the lush notes of lemon, pineapple, and vanilla in this medium-bodied, full-flavored wine. The successor to our award-winning 2020 Petit Manseng, this off-dry white has a sharp finish that grows smoother over time.
Pairings: Grilled seafood, veggies, poultry
Silver Medal — 2024 Governor’s Cup
Chardonnay
2020
This medium-bodied chardonnay features partial malolactic fermentation in order to gain some depth and richness, while still keeping the vibrant, savory flavors of chardonnay grapes. The wine opens with a rich depth of flavor and carries into a vibrant, crisp finish.
Pairings: Seafood, light fare
Chardonnay
2021
This French oaked chardonnay is delightful on the nose and smooth on the palate. You’ll get hints of yellow fruit ranging from golden delicious apple to tropical mango, while the slow malolactic fermentation brings out the flavors and feels of lemon curd and crème brûlée. The wonderful lingering finish allows you to savor this wine’s complexity and leaves you eager for more.
Pairings: Rich dishes, medium cheeses

Rosé
2021
Our lively and refreshing cabernet sauvignon-based rosé was produced using limited skin contact so that no tannins and only a delicate color were extracted from the grapes. Bright notes of white peach, grapefruit, and strawberry are carried through the finish by crisp acidity.
Pairings: Salads, poultry, fresh chevre
Cabernet Sauvignon
2020
This full-bodied yet very drinkable red features blended aromas of blackberry, plum, and vanilla. The addition of Merlot and Tannat grapes gives body and structure and keeps this dry cabernet from becoming too heavy.
Pairings: Short ribs, portabello mushrooms, and gouda cheese
Silver Medal — 2022 Monticello Cup
Cabernet Sauvignon
2021
This is a delicious, full-bodied red with balanced acidity and medium to high tannin structure. With the herbaceous quality of green peppercorn and secondary notes of graphite and cedar, the wine is definitely age-worthy!
Pairings: Red meats and peppery sauces
Silver Medal — 2024 Governor’s Cup
Merlot
2021
With allspice and nutmeg on the nose, plum and tart cherry on the palate, and a balanced tannin finish, this wine is a delight to sip beside a warm fire on a cold day. Or any day!
Pairings: Rare beef, aged sharp cheddar, and gourmet meals.
Cabernet Franc
2021
Our first Cabernet Franc is medium-bodied and moderately tannic. The nose suggests notes of old leather and light smoke. The palate leans towards pepper and black currant, and the finish is smooth.
Pairings: Smoky barbecue, stews, and tomato-based dishes
Silver Medal — 2023 Monticello Cup
Meritage
2021
Our velvety-smooth blend of estate-grown Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc was barrel-aged for 20 months. You’ll discover notes of black fruits and light smoke on the nose, with dark cherry and plum prominent on the palate. Savory herbs and pepper come through on the finish. Cheers to our first red blend!
Pairings: Smoked gouda and good quality, simply seasoned steak
