Labels: what do they mean?

Hello Everyone!

As our 2014 vintage really come to fruition (check out our cellar tour to get the skinny!) we begin preparing for  the 2015 vintage. And with every new vintage, we experienced many changes here at the winery.Something 

that you might have notice in the past years are our labels--we tend to have many of them and a question that I get asked fairly often is 'What's the deal with the labels?'

Starting this month (April 2015) the new batches of black label will be released to the club and, as oppose to previous years, all wine-club only wines will be in the black label. You will see our black label ‘fizzy’ Rose (made in our ‘fizzy lizzy’ style) and a black label still Rosé. Wines in the black label we tend to only make a finite amount and will only be available for our club!

  So, for now on, the majority of our wines will be in our 'standard' black or white labels. Discloser! We do have some other labels floating around the winery for various reason: Take a look!

 

                       New World Red- This Label was made specifically for, and exclusively for the New world Red. A coast-to-coast family-to-family wine, we have set this apart wine apart primary for the designated vineyard. (our relative's vineyard in Lake county)  Wine Club only

Solera: A sun wine that has been put into big glass casks and placed on the roof to bake in the sun in the summer. Made in a very traditional Spanish Orzo style, this wine is so unique that it has its own unique label.

Next is our port-styled dessert wine with the imprint of St. Martin de Tours (patron St. of wine) sketched on the label. We thought it was appropriate :)

Until we see you next at the winery,

Cheers!
