Syrah

94% Syrah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon from Sawmill Creek Vineyards. Red-fruited and delicately spiced, this light- to medium-bodied wine offers lifted aromatics of cinnamon, violets, and rose petals. On the palate, cherry and cherry pit notes are framed by firm apple skin tannins and a zesty, lingering finish. Aged for 9 months in neutral French and Hungarian oak with full malolactic fermentation.

Albariño

100% Albariño from Sawmill Creek Vineyards. Still a rarity in the Finger Lakes, this wine showcases lime-bright aromatics and a zesty spine of acidity. Light-bodied and energetic, it delivers a core of citrus fruit wrapped in chalky minerality, finishing with a persistent lime zest snap.

Apres

100% Vignoles from Hunt Country Vineyards in Branchport, NY. A lush, tropical white with ripe mango and papaya aromas, lifted by honeysuckle florals. The palate is generous and juicy, finishing with impressive length.

Cabernet Franc

100% Cabernet Franc from Sawmill Creek Vineyards in Hector, NY. Aged for nine months in 4–5-year-old French oak barrels. This is an elegant, red-fruited expression of Cabernet Franc, layered with notes of espresso bean, brown spice, and a zesty infusion of tangerine and grapefruit. A stony minerality anchors the palate.

Saluti

65% Grüner Veltliner and 35% Cayuga White. Filtered and force-carbonated the week before bottling on May 2, 2024. Crisp, clean, and refreshing with crunchy green apple, citrusy lift, and a saline-acid tension that makes it an ideal match for charcuterie and cheese.

Sauvignon Blanc

100% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from 53% Nutt Road Vineyards (Penn Yan, NY) and 47% Sawmill Creek Vineyards (Hector, NY). Ten percent of the juice was barrel fermented in puncheon, with all lots blended after six weeks, then tank aged and cold stabilized. This is a bright, zesty Sauvignon Blanc with fragrant sweetgrass aromatics—like fresh-cut lawn after a summer rain—lifted by a hint of sea spray. Pear and crunchy apple drive the light-bodied palate, which crackles with zingy, quaffable acidity.

Uva White

95% Vidal Blanc and 5% Pinot Blanc, sourced 48% from Sawmill Creek Vineyards (Hector, NY), 47% from Wagner Vineyards (Lodi, NY), and 5% Nutt Road Vineyards (Penn Yan, NY). A bright, easygoing white that blends citrus, orchard, and tropical fruit tones from the Vidal Blanc—more commonly used for ice wine but here shows its fresh, fruit-forward side. The finish is crisp and vivid with a steely mineral edge, perfect for humid East Coast summers.
