What’s Resting in our Barrels?
Right now, a portion of our wines are aging in barrel, slowly developing structure, texture and depth. Some will be bottled soon. Others need more time to become all they can be. Some will become part of experiments for new products.
This post is our living update: what’s in barrel, when we expect to bottle it, when we plan to release it, and how you can taste it early during special Barrel Tastings.

What to expect when tasting from barrel
Barrel samples can be thrilling—and a little surprising. You may notice:
- the wine looks slightly hazier than bottled wine
- flavors can be more intense, or less “knit together”
- tannins may feel stronger in young reds
- aromas may shift with air more dramatically
It’s not a finished portrait—it’s a painting still drying.
