New Release: Chardonnay Reserve 2023

Chardonnay Reserve 2023

697 Cases Produced

11.9% ABV

100% Chardonnnay (53% Atwater Vineyards, 47% Sawmill Creek Vineyards)

The 2023 Chardonnay Reserve offers aromas of white flowers, apple, lemon, and a subtle hint of cream. This wine is medium-bodied with nicely balanced acidity. Consider pairing this wine with creamy risotto, fish in beurre blanc sauce, or nigiri-style sushi.

The Chardonnay grapes were de-stemmed and pressed into stainless steel tanks to settle. After 24-48 hours, Chardonnay from Atwater was racked into barrels to ferment and age, while Chardonnay from our friends at Sawmill Creek was racked into a stainless steel tank to ferment and age. Both wines aged on their lees for seven months before blending and bottling in August 2024.

Storm Damage: Battered, not Broken

June 20, 2026

A short storm can create so much damage! We were mesmerized by the weather crossing the lake but couldn’t believe the impact when it hit. If you are wondering why we don’t have a tent right now or why the deck is closed, we wanted to share these before, during, and after pictures with you. The tent was destroyed, the deck awning damaged beyond repair, and the deck on the house used as our offices will need to be rebuilt. We also lost some outdoor furniture, wine glasses, and letters from our new sign. The good news is that our initial survey of the vineyard revealed little damage. Most importantly, no one was hurt. Our tasting room and outdoor bar are clean (sans tent for now) and open for business regular hours. We would definitely appreciate your visit and hope to see you!
