Gold Medal at 2024 Governor's Cup
Always one of our most popular wines, this year's Winter is Coming was crafted from 59% Syrah and 41% Petit Verdot from Colorado's Grand Valley. We aged the wine in 40% new oak and combined traditional winemaking with whole cluster fermentation to create one of the most powerful wines our winemaker Dan Kraft has ever created. Featuring notes of fresh mountain blackberry, fig and fresh ground pepper, with hints of olive and baking spices, this wine can stand up to the richest of meals. Try with your favorite steak, or herb rubbed lamb chops.
Sourced from Lee Vineyard in Palisade, this cold hardy cultivar provides a nice style to enjoy in the fall, with its slight similarity to Pinot noir. Aromas of cherry and plum alongside notes of mushroom and forest. This wine contains a lower tannin content and higher alcohol due to the warm vintage, which makes it a versatile wine that could go well with a variety of meals.
Made from Chambourcin, a classic cold hardy hybrid, this rosé has a deep magenta color despite a short skin contact of 75 minutes. Flavors of cranberry and strawberry abound, along with a hint of pomegranate. Ample acidity makes this wine great for those hot days of summer, and makes it pair nicely with a wide variety of salads and appetizers.
Silver medal, 2024 Governor's Cup. Sourced from the Hawk's Nest Vineyard in Dolores, this is only the second time we have been able to make a Colorado Pinot noir. Situated at 6800', this is believed to be the highest Pinot noir vineyard on Earth, and fermented at the highest winery to boot! Light in color with aromatics of strawberry, rose, and cedar, followed by flavors of cherry, fig, and mushroom, with a hint of oak. A balanced Pinot that is great on its own or with dishes like salmon, roast chicken, or grilled Portobello mushroom.

The king of all grapes and for good reason, as Cab is always highly requested.

Aged in 20% new oak, it has a gentle mouthfeel with a soft vanilla finish.
