Friendly Pressure
Merlot
While most of our reds rest longer, this one refused to wait. It moved with quiet conviction, open, generous, unforced. There’s a softness in its strength, a willingness to meet you where you are. It doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable — even when you’re wrong.
The above average growing year delivered grapes in great shape which were crushed and fermented in an open top bin. Once dry, it went into stainless steel for eight months with no fining or filtration.
A classic East Coast Merlot with juicy darker red fruits, a touch of minerality throughout and perhaps even a hint of mint somewhere in the finish.
Electric Recreation
Frontenac Gris
Loosely inspired by a jazz-rap classic — a charged ease where energy meets calm. It starts like a familiar loop, then flips: tradition spliced with invention. A dialogue between motion and rest, between past notes and what is yet to come. Kind of like sampling Mystic Brew by Ronnie Foster. We call it Electric Recreation.
Partially fermented on the skins until it gave us good vibrations then pressed off into stainless steel where it was aged for a year before bottling.
Rosato style with super expressive wild strawberry/red fruit notes and zippy acidity.
The Blessing of Saint-Maur
Riesling
A name carried from a quiet street in Paris, where an unforgettable bottle found us. Its roots stretch further—to the monks of Saint Maur, keepers of patience, practice, and grace. A quiet lineage of care and transformation. A reminder that devotion can take many forms.
Crushed and cold soaked on the skins for 24 hours. It was then pressed into neutral barrels and left on the lees. Racked once but otherwise left as is.
The 2024 vintage delivered gentle savory vegetal notes with a nice body and texture. Drinking beautifully now will only improve with time in the bottle.
Shook Ones
Muscat
Scared to death, scared to look — that’s how it started. Our first pét-nat, all nerves and no guarantees. But once it began to move, there was no going back. What began in hesitation found its rhythm — wild, alive, unapologetically in motion.
Crushed and fermented on the skins for 16 days then pressed and bottled just before it was dry to finish in the bottle. The remainder of the ferment stayed on skins and became our still orange.
This vintage delivered string aromatics with a nice bubble and so dry it almost takes on some cider like qualities. An excellent example of how versatile this grape can be.
Hella Flamboyant, We Flamingoes
Cayuga White
Born from clean Cayuga white and a healthy dose of mischief — fermented almost dry, then sent spinning with Blaufränkisch skins. Technically a white, somehow also a rosé, maybe even a red. Who’s counting? It’s bright, a little wild, and unapologetically extra. Call it a flamboyance — go ahead google it.
This Cayuga white was fermented almost dry then we added Blaufrankisch skins and let it continue. Pressed into stainless steel for 9 months before bottling.
The 2023 vintage is soft and clean with the red skins delivering a touch of color and character - dry with a touch of tart cranberry.
Sooner or Later
Aromella Saignee
Drawn in a moment between light and depth — a brief exchange where color, scent, and intention meet. It’s a study in timing: when to hold, when to let go. Fleeting, fragrant, and perfectly caught in motion.
Crushed and left on the skins for 48 hours. It was then pressed into stainless steel and left on the lees for an extended period. Racked once but otherwise left as is.
The 2023 vintage delivered notes of meyer lemon and green mango. A lovely textural white wine that pairs well with seafood and more than stands up on its own.
In The Beginning
Noiret
Named for one of our first creations — a beginning disguised as something bolder. A beginning with its own gravity. Bright red fruit, a trace of spice, and something unspoken underneath — fresh, direct, quietly dramatic.
In the early days we tried various levels of reduced time on skins until we went direct press which instantly became our favorite. Grapes are immediately pressed off into stainless steel, nothing added, nothing taken away.
The 2024 vintage delivers everything we like about this wine - a super approachable rose with red fruit notes and a touch of spice for character
Mistaken for Strangers
Cabernet Franc
Originally intended as something lighter, it revealed itself as something more. With time, it’s grown into itself — confident, grounded, familiar. Like being mistaken for a stranger by your own friends, it reminds us how the familiar can still surprise.
Fermented on the skins for almost 3 weeks and pressed into stainless steel then racked and finished in a neutral barrel.
While still lighter in structure and true to a cooler climate, this delivers all the classic Cab Franc notes one would hope for. Super versatile with food and lovely on its own.
