​
Why do your vintages have descriptions from previous years even when they are new?
The vintage year indicates the year the grapes were picked, not necessarily the year bottled. Most of our wine is aged at least one year before we bottle. We believe allowing the wine to age in the tank brings out the best, mature flavor.

What temperature should wine be served?
Serving temperature is important because it brings out the best aroma and flavor appropriate for the wine. A general guideline is red wine should be served at (cool) room temperature 62 to 68 degrees F and white (chilled) at 49 to 55 degrees F. ​
