Blue Mountain Mist

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.

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.

Glass $16/ Bottle $51
