2021 VENN Carbonic Merlot

$31.00

This wine was inspired by years of drinking Cru Beaujolais and wanting to better understand the technique. After making a visit to Morgon at the start of 2018 and collecting notes from winemaker heroes there and in our own backyard, we worked to uncover the vibrancy in our own Merlot.

Tasting Note:Ideal for parties, picnics or chilling by the pool, this is your perfect summer red. Light bodied yet full of flavor with refreshing floral and ripe red berry aromas, this wine is oh so quaffable. Room temp or lightly chilled? Your choice - we love it both ways. Drink now.

2024 VENN White Wine

$26.00

Our favorite crushable summer white. There’s nothing that we love drinking more on a hot day than something mouth-watering with a touch of waxy texture and fruit that shows juicy and bright. Amazing to know what is possible harvesting early on our warm site.

Tasting Note: Highly enjoyable, the wine is juicy and lively with very pretty texture and a lovely spectrum of aromas and flavors. Fleshy stone fruit and lychee on the palate with an herbal lift. Fresh citrus to finish keeps you running back for more. Perfect thing to drink under the sun.
