Buckle up for our 2021 vintage just bottled. On the lees three years. 70 cases total. The complexity is amazing. Lovely brioche on the nose and a lovely complexity with marzipan and lemon and such an incredible balance. This sparkling wine is offering up a huge mouthful of flavor!!!! We will put this wine up against most champagnes in its price range. A bit of Pinot Meunier of course. World championships here we come 2025. We are hoping to beat our own Bronze from last year.

This is a wonderful Tannat Port that has aged 3 years in French Oak Barrels

Winner of the best Port-Style wine at the Alantic Seaboard Competition

A port-style made from Tannat grapes purchased from a grower in Shenandoah AVA, from Sherman Ridge Vineyard. pH 3.94, RS 52 g/l. Aged three years in French oak. 
Very dark garnet with smudgy rim. Rich, ripe black fruit but no raisining. Sweet, spicy, the sweetness well balanced by the firm but smooth tannins. Warm from the alcohol and tastes better slightly chilled. There's an attractive savoury side to this port-style wine, slightly leathery, which is a good foil to the sweetness. The tannins build in the mouth. A very good port style, harmonious and sustained. (JH)

This is a sweet dessert wine made from Cayuga Grapes. 

Reviewed by Julia Harding/Jancis Robinson

Estate-grown Cayuga, a New York hybrid. Fermented in barrel and aged in tank. TA 6.4 g/l, pH 3.45, RS 78 g/l.
Unusual aroma, citrus, slightly grapey, and almost minty. But that is probably because I rarely get to taste this variety. Very sweet with that minty flavour on the palate, a touch of almonds too, and very ripe citrus. Marked by the variety and not heavily marked by the oak. Sweetness well balanced by the acidity. Silky texture, rounded out by the oak, I suspect, and a grapey sweetness on the finish. (JH)

This is a very special 2023 vintage of barrel reserve wine.   100% Arandell grapes.  We increased the Oak adding some wonderful blueberry, vanilla, and stewed cherry notes.

Silver Medal Governor's Cup 2024

Soliel d'Ovest Estate 2022 was reviewed by world renowned wine critic Julia Harding. Below are her tasting notes.
Score 16 (superior)
Full screwcapped bottle 1,151 g. Cool fermentation and ageing in stainless steel. This is a cold-hardy hybrid bred in Minnesota in 1988 and released in 2022. This interspecific hybrid includes 45% Vitis vinifera, 28% Vitis riparia, and less than 10% each of Vitis rupestris, Vitis labrusca and Vitis aestivalis.

Intense, ripe tropical fruits on the nose with a hint of roses giving it a floral aspect – smells a little like Gewürztraminer. Ripe on the palate, too, highly scented, with a citrus freshness balancing those tropical fruit flavours and rose-petal notes. Much higher acidity than on a Gewürz, which makes this easy and refreshing. Really nicely made to bring out all the attributes of this variety to give a refreshing yet flavourful white with intensity and surprising length. I can imagine this variety might also be good in a blend as it is quite intense. Not for keeping, though. (Though perhaps I will be proved wrong.) (JH)

This is an "Orange Wine."  What is That? It's a white wine that was fermented on the skins – made like a red wine, but with white grapes. Not many vineyards make orange wines, we thought it would be fun and it turned out wonderfully!

   This is one of our best white wines to date. Think PEACHES. Enjoy this lovely, light, crisp wine, full of aromatics of peaches which follows through with lots of flavor.

SILVER MEDAL WINE 

Aromoa's of strawberries, elegant, beautiful salmon color, nicely balance and a favorite of guests.   Not sweet at all at .01% RS   This has fruit forward notes but dry.  A excellent wine. 

GOLD MEDAL- Shenandoah Cup 2024

We used a german yeast to produce a very unique profile, different than some of the exsisting Traminettes.

Your initial experience will be lilac on the nose, with some grapefruit and lemon peel on the pallet, followed by a lovely elegant finish.     A really interesting fun wine.  Lovely color and clarity.   This is a very dry white wine.

Silver Medal in our Governor's cup 2024

If you love Big Red wines, this is a lovely grape that is compared to Cab Sav.   We put a touch of American Oak on it, otherwise it spent it's life in French Oak.   This dry lovely balanced wine is stunning. Earthy, mouth-watering, fruit compote, lingering, and soft.

A beautiful, bold blend –
66% Merlot, 29% Tannat, 14% Cab Franc

This amazing blend is sure to please the palate of the bold red lovers!   Dark Cherry, Pepper, and baking spices, Lovely soft Tannins come through from the Tannat,  from the extended oak aging, Stewed red fruit and black currant on the nose.

Red Blend –90% Arandell, 10% Petit Verdot  

This latest vintage of our number one selling wine is young and very similar to a Cab Franc at the moment, with a hint of smoke. Very well balanced and drinking very well in its youth. 

GOLD MEDAL- Shenandoah Cup 2024

This wine is staying true to repeated consistancy and gold medals.    On the two vintages we have had on this very young vine, we have produced 2 gold medals.

Marquette 2023

This wine was reviewd by world renowned wine critic Julia Harding and below are her tasting notes:   
Score 16 (superior) for the sold out vintage of 2022.  Below is her review.

The current 2023 is even better.

Full bottle 1,140 g. This is the first time I have tasted Marquette, a complex hybrid created in 1989 in Minnesota. Aged 9 months in French oak.
Lightish cherry red and vibrant cherry and strawberry fruit on the nose. Just slightly herbal and delicately floral – nicely so. Light-bodied with lively red fruits and very gentle tannins. Fresh and refreshing. A really nice surprise with no really obvious hybrid notes except perhaps at the very end when there is something strawberry like. Excellent freshness on the finish. Juicy and mouth-watering. (JH
