It is incredible to me that this is our fifth vintage in Los Angeles. For the first few years, the task seemed to be simply surviving. Now, with your support, the order of the day is flourishing.
This is also our fourth year of offering futures. It has been a tremendous success each year-- the offering sells out in hours and allows us to fund the harvest itself. I am so grateful to you for the support that you have shown over the years, and the interest you are showing this year.
As I revise this, harvest is nearly over. We have made 13 wines this year, many of them in vanishingly small quantities.
These are the wines that we offer you this year. I am leaving out the the least interesting of the 13 wines. We began bottling the wines early in March, and, with one exception, will finish early in June. We will begin shipping your wines at that time, all together.
These are the wines:
There will be only about 240 bottles of the Chiara Reserve, and only about 60 of the Maglite Blanc de Noir. Consequently, we will offer only 60 of these futures packages in total. At the moment, there are only 12 left.
We are offering the wines at about a 14% discount; their full retail value is $810.
And ground shipping is on us.
