With the help of friends and family, Bill and Bev Fraser planted their vineyard in the spring of 2003.  The Canyon County site, in the new Snake River Valley Appellation, was selected for its steep south facing slope, 2,700 foot elevation and abundant Idaho sunshine.  The vineyard is comprised of three Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot and we utilize a drip irrigation and a vertical shoot positioning (VSP) trellis system.

Our wines are fermented in small open topped fermenters and aged in new American and French oak barrels. 

In 2006, a wet spring and long warm growing season provided another excellent vintage.  In 2006, we also made a small quantity of Idaho Viognier, which was released in August 2007.  The Viognier was awarded a Silver Medal by the Treasure Valley Wine Society during its annual juried competition.  The bad news is we have sold out of both the Viognier and the 2005 Cabernet. 

The good news is the 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was bottled during the summer 2008 and will be released Thanksgiving weekend. You can reserve your case now!
