2007 Finale
Sold out!
Gold Medal winner and Best of Class (dessert wines) in 2009 LA International Wine Competition.

 

Fortress Finale is our flagship wine.  Made from 100% Semillon grown on our mountain vineyard (elevation 2400 ft.), this ambitious, painstakingly-made wine captures the essence of traditional Bordeaux-style wine.  It tips its hat to iconic Sauternes wine such as the L’Extravagant de Doisy-Daene, Chateau d’Yquem and Rieussec while raising a glass to New World enological innovation and moxie. Medium gold, full-bodied with honeysuckle, peach, creme caramel, and a long concentrated finish with balanced acidity.

2010 Sauvignon Blanc Musque Clone
Same great wine, brand new package! A handcrafted wine from our high altitude mountain vineyard using 100% Musque Clone, the Bordeaux clone of Sauvignon Blanc.

 

This handcrafted single vineyard wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Musque grown using sustainable practices at 2,400ft. in the Red Hills Lake County AVA. The red volcanic soils of this mountain site, in tandem with the cooling lake influences below, are perfectly suited to the production of traditional Bordeaux varietals, including Sauvignon Blanc. The Musque clone offers a different style of Sauvignon Blanc.  There is no grassiness nor overwhelming grapefruit.  Rather, it is crisp and clean, offering up notes of kiwi, honeydew melon and ocean brine.  Drink either as an aperitif or pair with shellfish, seafood, poultry, pasta, or mildly spicy and fusion fare.

2008 Novateur
SOLD OUT

 

French for “innovation”, Novateur is a unique wine made from Semillon and Sauvignon Musque grapes grown on our mountain vineyard at elevations from 2,000 to 2,400 feet.   The combination of our unique terroir, the “Lake Effect”, and sustainable vineyard practices create wines with a natural balance between sugar and acidity.  We picked the grapes for Novateur  at a higher brix (28°) and blended the two varietals in the cellar to reach the perfect combination of some sweetness with depth of flavor. 
The lively, natural acidity in Novateur is essential for complementing a wide array of flavors.  Novateur’s medium body and lower alcohol is balanced with crisp, bright acidity making it a versatile wine which holds up to a variety of foods.  Let it cut the heat of fiery Asian cuisine, complement spices such as nutmeg, mustard seed, tarragon, and mint, or blend with the richness of “comfort food”, or just enjoy it on its own.
