Vineyard From The Graduates, a collaborative project started by three young winemakers who met studying viticulture and oenology. Fruit comes from roughly 20-year-old vines on the Lake Ferry Road vineyard, hand-picked and aged in French oak with full malolactic fermentation, designed with a lighter, chillable style in mind.
Wine A lively, cool-climate style built to be enjoyed with a slight chill, which lifts the wine's bright raspberry and wild strawberry fruit while softening the tannins. Fresh acidity and a smooth, easy-drinking texture make it approachable yet characterful.
