Winemaker’s Notes

Head Winemaker Brian Hosmer and his talented cellar team artfully craft our sustainably-grown fruit into an array of wines to charm every palate. Only carefully selected grapes for their concentrated flavors are used for our Proprietor's Reserve label. The grapes were fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels with sur lie aging with monthly bâtonnage to add a creamy, round mouthfeel and complex nose.

 

Serving suggestions

Best served only lightly chilled at 50-55°F to avoid dulling its complexity and pairing powers. Recommended: remove it from the ice bucket or refrigerator 20 minutes before pouring to let it warm up. It’s not necessary to decant.
