Happy Fall!
Brian and I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying fall and hopefully looking forward to some holiday celebrations with family and friends as we go into this ‘warm’ time of year.
The last two months have been buzzing with work in the winery, in Carlton and on the farm. I’m excited to share all the happenings along with our magnum release and our holiday offerings.
We enjoyed a very special harvest this year with our crew including family: both of Brian and my brothers and our two nephews! Huge thank you to our brothers Michael and Dara and our two nephews Henry and Eoin for joining our full-time crew of Josh and Riley. Also thanks to Rachel who came back again this year to help us with the chardonnay in addition to being our most trusted caretaker of the farm so Brian and I can get much needed time away throughout the year!. We’ve had more than our share of beautiful lunches and dinners shared around the table, along with all the diligent work to make some beautiful 2024 wines. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful end to the growing year with near perfect conditions. The ferments all have been beautiful and we are starting to barrel down as I write this letter. Kathryn and Laura have been hosting and continuing to help get you wines and generally keeping the wheels on the wagon as I support the winemaking crew and keep the farm humming.
The Pond is now complete - big thank you to Jim Roofner of HPS - we are eager to see the winter rains fill it. The animals are all thriving and Julius the Ram will be in with his ladies very soon hopefully to bring us a new batch of spring lambs. Red Fred (the bull) seems to have ‘settled’ all his girls and we are looking forward to a new batch of spring calves as well.
This letter officially releases the beautiful fall magnums available on the web site - these ’22’s are already racking up lots of accolades. Grabbing a few of these beauties for that special celebration is always a great idea. As in the past the magnums are ONLY available till Dec 1st or sooner if they sell out faster as there is a limited window when we can safely ship them.
We suggest buying a three pack of magnums - a chard magnum for thanksgiving, a willamette valley for your winter holiday table and a single vineyard to stash away!
In addition to the Magnums, we have some holiday packs. We’ve put these together to give you some choices, something for everyone’s taste and budget. We are delighted to include a red or blue bow and a personalized gift note for our wine packs.
We are still offering complimentary fall ground shipping (on a half case or more) which will last for a few more weeks, take advantage of it and stock up now for the holidays!
