| Description: | We have a simple mission at Sarah’s Vineyard. We produce fruity, intense, refined local wines that taste like the land they came from and the year they were grown in. We make wines that are enjoyable from the first sip to the end of the glass. We make wines that go well with food. The Proprietor and the Winemaker love their food as well as their wine, and want to be able to enjoy them together.
Our Estate Chardonnay, for instance, is a lean, elegant French-style wine with the strong mineral flavors of Puligny-Montrachet, a combination of apple, pear and tropical fruit nuances, a light touch of new French oak and a fresh creamy finish.
Most of our wines are single-vineyard designated, many of our wines are estate grown and bottled, and we use almost exclusively French oak barrels in the cellar. Cellarmaster Roberto is tidy and finicky, and tops the barrels twice a week while the wine is aging. We make everything by hand in small batches, usually100 to 400 cases, and most wines have serial numbered bottles. Since our first vintage in 2001, we’ve gotten some great attention for our wines, and as our experience grows, we expect to keep improving.
To get an idea of what we are striving for, you are welcome to peruse the tasting notes, which are written by the Proprietor. Better yet, stop by the Tasting Room the next time you’re in the area, and sample the wines. While you’re here, take a glass, walk through our vineyards, breathe deep, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area. |
