- A cool Fall in 1999 postponed harvest 2 to 3 weeks later than typical for both our Kinneybrook and Wildwood vineyards. This delay, coupled with small berries and a burst of warm weather during the last weeks of September gave us full-bodied, full-flavored wines of great depth and concentration. In the nose, our 1999 Reserve Chardonnay presents layers of perfumed fruit and wood that carry through onto the palate and deepen to flavors of butter, vanilla and toasted nuts. -David Noyes, Winemaker

- A short crop and a cool, dry summer gave us very small berries of concentrated flavor. The resulting wine shows a great texture and a beautiful range of apple, citrus and honey flavors on the palate. Enjoyable now with rich seafood or grilled poultry, this wine has the intensity and structure to develop nicely for several years to come. -David Noyes, Winemaker
