The winery's own current wine list could not be reached during this research session due to a persistent access limit; wine names above come from third-party retailer tasting-note pages (Wine of the Month Club) and forefamilyvineyards.com's varietal list, not the current shop page - vintages and pricing should be confirmed directly with the winery rather than assumed current.
