From the Winery: Crowley Wines produces 3,000 cases annually. Our small size allows for a hands-on approach from vineyard to barrel. We farm and manage the Four Winds Vineyard and work closely with our team of growers to achieve the uniqueness of each site. At harvest, freshness, lower alcohols, flavor and acidity are the touchstones of our picking decisions. Once that delicate balance is achieved we preserve it throughout the winemaking process, monitoring each cluster down the sorting table and nurturing every tank through natural fermentation to barrel. And then we wait. The winery’s release schedule is influenced by our belief that wine (like many things) benefits from patience. We age our wines for 12-20 months. Our underground barrel room provides optimal storing conditions allowing time for integration and maturity while preserving the wines’ elegance and liveliness well beyond the barrel and into bottle aging.

Vintage 2022 Note: 2022 began normally and then a frost hit which damaged a high percentage of newly formed buds on the vines. Thankfully grape vines are resilient, and they recovered by producing secondary shoots which allowed for normal yields. The twist, however, was that secondary development was behind primary so ripening levels went at a different pace. Thankfully we were blessed with a gorgeous late summer as temps and sun held out well into October which evened the pace. In the end we made ideal picking decisions stretched out over 10 lovely days and the wines are wonderfully light and fresh and mature.

Tasting Note: Eye catching clarity meets garnet edges mixed with crimson. Lucid and fresh, the nose displays crunchy aromatics, cranberry and pomegranate mixed with herb and citrus.

Palate is smooth and elegant, showing an intriguing wax component combined with powdered fine grain tannins. Taut edging defines the flavors as sweetly elegant and delicate. Lithe and lively, strawberry, and warm spice carry the sweet spot while forest floor and autumn leaves bring in the earthen complexity. This wine stays upright and coiled as the phenolics are spread perfectly from start to finish. 1100 cases made
