This vineyard continues to astound everyone who either
works in it or with the fruit it provides. Year after year it produces some of
the best grapes grown in the state. Thus, allowing our winemaking team the
opportunity to shape some of the best wine made in Michigan. Good things come
to those who wait, and we have been patiently waiting, as this vintage has
already been in the bottle for over a year.
Currently it is youthful and drinking very well. In another 5-10 years
it will only get better!
