Futures

Why Buy Futures?

We hope you’ll consider taking advantage of our Futures program!

  • Save money today on wines that are sure to appreciate in value
  • Secure limited-allocation wines
  • Pay only 50% deposit now and remainder upon bottling
  • Futures purchases count towards renewing membership

Every year, when the new vintage is still in barrel, we allocate a small percentage (about 10%) to Futures purchases; that is, while the wines are still aging and before they’re bottled, you may purchase it by the case with a 50% deposit.  This locks in a lower price than when the wine is eventually available to the public.

During subsequent visits, you can taste the wines as they age and develop to further hone your skills of appreciation. Once the wine is bottled, two or three years from the vintage date, a notice is sent to you with the balance and instructions for shipping or pickup.

You can also combine Futures purchases with current wines to obtain multiple case discounts. A nice advantage when you’re only putting down half on the Futures.

2023 Vintage

"A Vintage of a Lifetime" plus New Cabernet Offerings

“Some critics are saying the 2023 vintage is the best in the last 10 years.

It was a wet, cool winter and spring that delayed bud-break and shoot growth. Summer diplayed very moderate temperatures, so the vines grew well and with only moderate stress. Fruit benefited from an extended hang time, allowing color and flavors to develop fully.  The harvest was later than normal by 10-14 days, but fruit quality was excellent.

The white wines have exceptional fruit aromas and flavors, and the reds are showing supple and silky tannins, with intense color and rich mid-palate flavors and texture. We are expecting wines of elegance that demonstrate a sense of place from this remarkable vintage.”

Brooks Painter, Director of Winemaking
