Winemaker's Select White
Our Meritage blend of Viognier, Chardonnay, and Traminette varietals provides an incredible depth and consistency in its character, resulting in an extremely nuanced, complex, and long-lived wine. The oak aging smoothed the blend of flavors.

2010
2010 Cabernet Franc
The 2010 harvest was top quality, with a full ripening crop that resulted in wine a high level of intensity, richness, and smooth mouthfeel. Aged for 11 months in new oak barrels, the production was in classic Bordeaux style, with low residual sugar. It has pronounced perfume with notes of raspberries, black currants, violets, and graphite.

Cabernet Sauvignon

2010
2010 Cabernet Sauvignon
The grape crop last year was the best on record, the result of a hot and dry summer growing season. Our Cabernet Sauvignon protocol was for a robust balance with distinctive fruit notes through aging in French new oak barrels for 11 months. Our resulting wine is very approachable and full bodied with a great length. It will age well, but is very drinkable now.

Pippin Hill Merlot
This popular varietal's name is thought to derive from the Old French word for young blackbird - related to its depth of colour and robust nature. Our Merlot captures this strength with a distinctive range of wild berries, plum, and currant flavours. The 2010 harvest is thought to be award-winning, with amazing maturation of the crop and the earliest harvest on record for this region.

Red Wine Blend

Winemaker's Select Red
Our Pippin Hill Winemaker's Select Red is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Chambourcin. Aged in new oak barrels to bring out the character of the varietals.
