2021 Barrel Fermented
Chardonnay

This 100% Chardonnay is elegant and rich with soft aromas of ripe peach, crushed pear and an alluring butterscotch on the nose., The palate structure is full, rich and round, expressing fresh mango, pineapple, and dried apricots with a delicate sprinkle of toasty oak.

Glass $10/Bottle $29

2023 Pinot Grigio

96% Pinot Grigio, 4% Riesling - .4% Residual Sugar. The aroma brings springtime notes of honeysuckle with clementine, tangelo, and juicy starfruit. A lemon zest flavor combined with apricot and honeydew pushes forward on the palate. The finish gently yields to a complexity of lychee and very slight white pepper.

Bottle $29

2022 Pinot Grigio

90% Pinot Grigio, 5% Chardonnay, 5% Vidal Blanc. You will get aromas of honeydew, whispers of grapefruit with fresh summertime rose petals, and a slight lustrous flinty wet slate. The flavors, with zesty acidity, are dry with hints of unsweetened orange marmalade, pear, and lingering minerality. This is a non-demanding, smooth, creamy, balanced wine.

Glass $10/Bottle $29

2022
Le Renard Gris

54% Vidal Blanc, 24% Pinot Grigio, 17% Chardonnay, 5% Riesling. There are initial pleasant fragrances of crushed peach skins, ripe pineapple, and honeysuckle blossoms. The fruit-forward palate adds a pleasing and refreshing element of the tropics with layers of starfruit, banana, and a coconut twist.

Glass $10/ Bottle $29

2023 Unoaked Chardonnay

This 100% stainless chardonnay has lively aromas of white peach, grapefruit rind, melons, and white pepper. Flavors on the palate are pineapple, peach, and silky star fruit. This is a fruit-forward chardonnay balanced nicely on the palate with just 1% residual sugar.

Glass $9/Bottle $25

Blue Mountain Mist

87% Vidal Blanc, 13% Chardonnay. This opulent off-dry wine brings mango aromas with subtle rose petals and a faint lemon rind nuance that follows aromatically. The palate is delicate and super clean with a star fruit and honeyed peach that pushes past the mango. This wine is refreshing, clean, and balanced.

Glass $13/Bottle $39

Situationally Dependent

83% Chambourcin, 17% Cabernet Franc. This is an easy-going fun wine with concentrated stewed blackberry, boysenberry, and molasses that greet the nose. The palate is dry and complex with flavors of stone fruits, a slight smokiness, and forest floor tones. Flintiness and minerality compete against the fruit making this wine - situationally dependent.

Glass $16/ Bottle $48

2022 Reserve Cabernet Franc

This 100% Cabernet Franc has ripe blueberries and plum galore coming through on the nose. This is intertwined with subtle oak, vanilla, mocha, and a slight sooty aroma showing Bordeaux complexity. This wine is complex with the fruits on the palate unfolding in layers with blackberry, plum, and then blueberry with a slight clean sandalwood finish, and then the lingering vanilla returns.

Glass $16/ Bottle $49

2021 Reserve Cabernet Franc

75% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot. Our 2021 Reserve Cabernet Franc is a concentrated wine with deep plum, mature brambles, and stewed stone fruits that exude aromatically. The palate rounds out with further nuances of forest floor, coffee, and a slight pleasant tar or chimney soot. This is an excitingly full, rich, and concentrated wine worthy of reserve status.

Glass $16/ Bottle $51

2021 Le Renard Rouge

58% Cabernet Franc, 24% Petite Verdot, 14% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Le Renard Rouge (the red fox) is our signature Bordeaux blend. The 2021 vintage shares delicate aromas of violets, elegant rose petals, blueberry, and crushed plum skin. Once sipped, fruit flavors of damsons, blueberry pie, and blackberry tart push forward to an outstanding finale of unsweetened cappuccino froth flavor.

Glass $9/Bottle $25

Freezeland Red

100% Chambourcin. This sweet wine is a graceful, non-demanding fruit-forward light red wine to enjoy and simply relax. Raspberry, blackberry, and cranberry aromas mesh with a slight almandine puree aroma. A soft palate reinforces the same fun flavors while showing some strawberry, raspberry jam, and baked walnut.
