Batavia
Batavia is named for and celebrates the home of our second tasting room in Batavia. IL. A medium bodied white perfectly balanced with medium-high levels of mouthwatering acidity makes this perfect to sip on for summer. Notes of honeysuckle and pear on the nose compliment the orange blossom and juicy mandarin finish. Cheese, nuts, and sushi are perfect pairings for this bright semi-sweet white!

2020 One Flock Red Blend, Napa Valley, CA
Tasting notes: “Fresh and vibrant with an attractive dark red-purple hue. Once it reaches the glass, the spirit of the bright young wine immediately comes to life with lofty aromas of ripe red fruits and wild berries, underscored by fragrant hints of crushed violets, lavender, allspice, sandalwood, and roasted nuts. On the palate, the natural intensity of the fruit-driven flavors of briary blackberry, raspberry coulis, boysenberry, ripe cherry, and dark plum are layered with nuances of chocolate truffle, black pepper, cardamom, clove, and a light touch of toasted oak.” Take home price: $19.98
