| September, 16 2004 Harvest - 3 weeks early! We try to distribute our eNews in the first week of each month, however this month has been extra busy as we, like many Californian wineries, are having our earliest harvest ever. Over the last 18 years our previous record start was Sept. 17th. This year we picked our first Sauvignon Blanc grapes on Sep. 10th, which is about 3 weeks earlier than our typical start during the last week of Sept. We are happy that the guality is high, yet that invariably means the yields are low. It looks like it will shape up to be a very good harvest. Yet, "it isn't over until all the grapes are in the barn..." We'll keep you posted.
The latest in our series of specials: Cab Franc "3 for 2" Our 2000 Cabernet Franc is arguably the best Cab Franc we've made (so far...). Yet we're unfortunately down to the last couple dozen cases and will run out this month.
Among its many accolates, it was awarded a Best of Class at the Los Angeles County Fair. Best of Class means best of the gold medal winners and only a handful are distributed. This is a delicious example of that "other" Cabernet. The blend is 85% Cab Franc with 15% Merlot. Our Cabernet Franc normally retails for $18 a bottle. We'd like to be true to our stated aim nine months ago that "It's our 10th Birthday... but you get the presents all year long." "3 for the price of 2" means only $12 per bottle- saving 33% Great wine is meant to be shared! So to celebrate with our best friends and most loyal customers: 2000 Cabernet Franc $12. 2000 Cabernet Franc case of 12 bottles for $144.
This special monthly offer ends Sept. 30, 2004, or as soon as the supply runs out.
FREE SHIPPING on 6 or more bottles shipped via UPS Ground.
