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.
‘06 harvest!
harvest feast ‘25
We just had our harvest meal last night marking the compleetion of the harvest season! At our harvest table we had lots of magnums and it’s just so damn fun to open big bottles and this is your chance to grab some for your table.
This year has been special as it’s out 20th vintage making big table farm wine and we got a few grapes for our first tiny Pied de Cuve! (see the previous fall letter) We had a great crew this year! We had two ladies with lots of caller experience Patricia and Becky. Henry, Brian’s nephew who joined us for his second harvest and was invaluable! Also thanks to Dustin, Riley and Greg. Harvest this year all happened quickly and a little earlier than in the past but it all went almost too easily. I was in a constant state of… ‘don’t say anything and jinx it clare’ : ) It was a very strong end to the growing year with great 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 fed. We will be bringing in a new ram soon for a new batch of spring lambs with some new genetics. 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. I’m looking forward to the quieter winter months.
This letter officially releases the fall magnums which are available on the web site - these ’23’s are already racking up lots of accolades. Grabbing a few of these beauties for your fall and winter celebrations is 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.
In addition to the Magnums, we have our ‘farm box’ a great holiday gift that keeps giving! and some ‘packs’. We put packs together hoping that there would be something for everyones taste and budget.
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!
We are still offering complimentary fall ground shipping (on 6 bottles or more) which will last for a few more weeks, take advantage of it and stock up now for the holidays!
