Merlot from our Matheson and Swede vineyards is used in the production of this wine. It was a an exceptional year where September was dry and hot, normally our wettest month.

Fresh strawberries

Touch of sweetness at first followed by a nice acidic backbone.

Elegant, bright pink

Perfect as an aperitif or with a wonderful, crisp salad from fresh spring lettuce and greens with Leelanau Country Inn French dressing.

Almost no age, we bottled this wine in mid-February

Hand harvested on October 10th, earlier than normal
