Retailers please check with Rod , we hold cases back for WHOLESALE accounts.
SINGLE BARREL WINES
All our wines are created with the knowledge, skill and passion of winemaker Rod Snapp. When we label something as a Single Barrel, it means the wine is being bottled from one particular oak barrel . During routine barrel tasting's sometimes winemaker Rod Snapp feels the wine in that particular barrel is so exceptional that he does not want to blend it with any other barrels of wine. This does not happen automatically every year, you just never know when one might come along. A single wine barrel makes only 24 cases or 288 bottles of wine.

( Above) Brad Bebee and Peter Litchfield assist in the pressing of the grapes. (Below) Legacy members Glen & Kathy Buttrey assist winemaker Rod Snapp while he records his measurements and readings of each vat. Glen is also our tasting room manager.
It's always great to have mechanic Harry Sweet in the neighborhood in case a piece of equipment goes down. Thanks Harry !
( Below sunset view from vineyards) During fermentation or "Punch Down" the work goes on around the clock.
( Below ) You may think that winemaker Rod Snapp is making this wine for you ! But he's really making it for himself !
