Bright blend of our whites: unoaked Chardonnay, Viognier, and Muscat Canelli. Lightly floral nose of summer honeysuckles with hints of kiwi, lycee and citrus. Winemaker’s remarks: “Blends are truly my favorite to make. With this one, we added just enough Muscat to give it those characteristics.”
Lightly sweet with hibiscus on the nose, citrus and lycee kiwi fruit notes. Not too sweet with a clean, crisp finish. Our 2012 vintage was voted the best White Wine in the entire state! Winemaker’s remarks: “A favorite in our house- we use Sweet Muscat Canelli in our stir fry, and drink the rest!”
2015 harvest: the best reds ever at Sanders Ridge. Rich currant and light spice with hints of vanilla on the finish. Winemaker’s remarks: “This one cries out for rich, dark chocolate brownies.”
