Our small lot bottlings start with superb fruit, and we seek to artisanally shape each to showcase its uniqueness and the specific region from which it originates. "We are proud of of our success and honored to be able to produce these fine wines according to Jewish dietary laws."

Winemaker's tasting notes

The rich, spicy nose of bakers chocolate and black cherry compliments the brooding and spice-filled black licorice, black cherry, plum and cranberry on the palate. The addition of 11% Cabernet Franc enhances the complexity of the wine, as well as adding to our trademark robust and silky mid-palate. This newest wine is surely a treasure to keep for many years in your personal cellar.
