Retailers please check with Rod to see what wines are available.

 

SINGLE BARREL WINES

All our wines are created with the knowledge, skill and passion of winemaker Rod Snapp. When we label something as a Single Barrel, it means the wine is being bottled from one particular oak barrel . During routine barrel tasting's sometimes winemaker Rod Snapp feels the wine in that particular barrel is so exceptional that he does not want to blend it with any other barrels of wine. This does not happen automatically every year, you just never know when one might come along. A single wine barrel makes only 24 cases or 288 bottles of wine.

It's always great to have mechanic Harry Sweet in the neighborhood in case a piece of equipment goes down. Thanks Harry !

( Below sunset view from vineyards) During fermentation or "Punch Down" the work goes on around the clock.
