Dry Whites
2022 Elkie's White
(Dry White)
We know Elkie would be proud of this wine! This refreshing white wine features some truly remarkable Riesling from the Finger Lakes Region of New York paired with a unique “Field Blend” of grapes from a specific 3 rows in our vineyard. This is a wonderfully refreshing wine sure to entice casual sippers to explore the dry white category. Beautiful notes of tropical fruit overlay ripe peach and grapefruit. We’re trying to keep our winemaker from keeping it all for himself!
72% Finger Lakes Riesling, 28% Field Blend (R) (Lacrosse, Vignoles, Traminette, Meynieu)
2022 Simsbury Celebration
(Dry White)
Featuring our estate grown Seyval Blanc with Chardonnay harvested in California. Well balanced with lovely notes of citrus blossom, ripe white peach, and lemon zest. Playing off a background of bright minerality courtesy of our unique soils of the Farmington River Valley. Wonderfully balanced acidity make this a wonderful wine to enjoy on its own or with any number of dishes from a charcuterie board to a lobster bake.

2022 Three Sisters

Beautiful notes of raspberry, blackberry, currant, baking spice, smoke, leather, mocha and chocolate covered cherries make this wonderful wine a crowd pleaser with all your favorite Fall & Winter family dinners. This wine is a new collaboration with Cherry Brook Farm in Canton, CT where a half acre private vineyard sits atop a windswept slope along the Cherry Brook. A blend of Frontenac, Marquette & Petite Pearl, all grown on the property, make for a complex wine that reveals new layers with each sip.

2021 Winter Red
(Dry Red)
A delicate blend of Malbec, Marquette & Foch. Aromas of blueberry, black cherry & dark chocolate lead to a youthful but approachable level of tannins that allow this wine to be sipped on even the hottest days without being overbearing. Pair with lighter meat dishes such as lamb or dark chocolate for an indulgence.

2022 Marquette

Bright notes of red currant, black pepper, cedar, prune, vanilla and baking spice accompany candied cranberry and approachable acidity. A beautiful example of the Marquette grape varietal, a grandchild of Pinot Noir. Enjoy with appetizers or lighter fare.

2021 Farmington River Red
(Dry Red)
A fun play on a traditional GSM Southern Rhone Blend. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and our own Maréchal Foch! The Foch component is a blend of our 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 vintages which saw a 6 month period of French oak aging which has imparted subtle smokiness. Dried & cooked fruits such as fig, prune & blackberry intermingle with leather, dried sage & black pepper. Pair with charcuterie, or smoked barbecue.

With approachable tannins and mild acidity, this wine is ready and waiting for your next meat dish. The added benefit of oak extends a silky finish with a hint of vanilla. The Merlot & Sangiovese were co-fermented to allow the creation of more complex wine.

Sweet Wines
2022 Sundance
(Sweet White)
Our Sundance features Chardonnay with the added essence of peaches and apricots. A classic Chardonnay taste profile moves to a new level when crafted to showcase the sweet side of fruit and wine grapes with just 2/3 the alcohol of a regular Chardonnay. Over ice by the pool? In the hammock with a good book? Why not?

White Cranberry & Pinot Grigio, not only a perfect pairing for Thanksgiving but when served extra chilled, a little (frost) bite of those glorious chilled moments at the end of our calendar year, whenever you’d like one.

2022 Silver Queen
(Sweet White)
All hail the return of our Silver Queen! After a long hiatus, our Silver Queen returns to us as a 100% Rosedale grown Cayuga White wine. With just enough sweetness to take the edge off that hot afternoon, this is technically the driest of our sweeter wines. Ripe pineapple & granny smith apple play off lemon zest with hints of grapefruit. This is a wonderful pairing to your backyard BBQ, especially when featured next to our world famous sweet corn!
