Aromas of dark raspberry mingle with huckleberry and hints of espresso bean on the palate to create a lush middle body and juicy finish."
Winemarker Chris Carpenter

Winemaker Chris Carpenter

2015 Merlot
"Flavors of blue fruits and mocha abound with rounding texture lift this wine on your palate. The long, steady finish exhibits why mountain Merlot stands alone."
Winemaker Chris Carpenter
100% Merlot
2015 Cabernet Franc
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Cabernet Sauvignon opens with violet and ripe blueberry then deepens into a killer midpalate. Minerality and touches of graphite and herbs bring strength and complexity to this beauty.
2021 Merlot
Grown in a vineyard block surrounded by dense forest, this Merlot uniquely reflects the terroir of Mt. Veeder. Both sumptuous and delicately earthy, the wine offers up aromatics of dark cherry, blueberry, rose petal, and forest floor. Silky tannins carry each sip into incredible length.
2023 Restricted Proprietary White Wine
The inspriation behind this wine was to explore these often underappreciated varieties and show how the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts. Each variety plays a different role. This year the Chenin blanc was stellar and serves as the heart of the wine.
2021 Malbec
Grown on the slopes of Mount Veeder, this is Malbec operating at a high level. Minerality intelligently accents the mouth-filling juiciness of ripe blueberry and spiced rhubarb-cherry pie, while soft tannins create an elegant, generous frame.
2021 Cabernet Franc
Incredibly focused and defined, the 100% Cabernet Franc showcases aromas of mulberry, Asian spice, black tea and graphite. Loaded with dense fruit and spice on the palate, the full-bodied wine has beautifully balanced acidity and ripe, uber-fine tannins. Stunning out of the gate, this wine should provide cellaring rewards for years to come.
2021 Zinfandel
An interplay of dark raspberry, rhubarb pie and floral aromas leap from the glass. Fresh acidity carries the savory mid-palate to a long complex finish buttressed by fine Mt. Veeder tannins.
