The inaugural release from our newest winemaker, Christina Zapel. All crafted with minimal intervention, native yeast fermentation, and maximum attention to detail. All six are sourced entirely from Glacier Ridge Vineyards, on the southeast side of Seneca Lake. These wines are already getting great press.
2023 Merlot - Glacier Ridge - 10% Whole Cluster. 90 cases produced. It’s rare to see a Merlot in the Finger Lakes with this much power and structure, a credit to the Glacier Ridge Vineyard. Complex and full-bodied with juicy acidity. Firm structure with black raspberry, savory herbs, and full tannins. 94 pts Dec 2025, Brian Freedman for JamesSuckling.com
2023 Cabernet Franc - Glacier Ridge - “…A standout Cabernet Franc in the region…” 92 pts, Billy Norris for Vinous, Feb 2025. 70 cases produced.
