2016 Riesling

Here at Point Lookout Vineyards, we let our riesling bask on sunny, hillside slopes, developing ripe flavors without losing that freshness that lets riesling shine like the sun it’s grown in. Our 2015 Riesling is off-dry, in the style of a German Kabinett, balancing the refreshing acidity with a touch of fruity sweetness to display the bright aromas of ripe citrus and stone fruits, supported by floral notes and a shining minerality.  A wonderful pairing for spicier food, sushi, or fresh seafood dishes, or a glass on its own on a warm summer afternoon.

2016 Chardonnay – Barrel Fermented

The trick to the combination of chardonnay and oak is finding the balance that lets the pure flavors of grape shine through, enriched by the smooth, creamy flavors of proper barrel-fermenting and aging.  Point Lookout Vineyard’s Barrel-Fermented Chardonnay finds that balance, and delivers a wine with a clear purpose and harmonious flavors.  Golden apple, ripe pear, and lemon curd find their place among notes of vanilla bean, and baking spices like nutmeg and allspice.  Delicious with roast chicken, creamy risotto, fish with cream sauces, and a cheese plate.

2015 Merlot

Merlot serves as a softer, friendlier red wine, and we intend ours to be that delicious red everyone can enjoy. Our Merlot drinks readily, showing all of the plush fruit and nuanced aromas characteristic of the varietal, while remaining a great match for food.  Look for flavors of red cherries, raspberries, with a background of mocha, milk chocolate, and vanilla.  Delicious with pork dishes, welcome with a cookout, and plenty enjoyable on its own!

2016 Cliffield

Red Blends are meant to show the best of each grape in the mix complimenting each other; every piece creating something even better than the sum of its parts. Point Lookout Vineyards ‘Cliffield,’ named for the family-farm owned mountain you can see from our stunning vineyards, does just this.  We combine Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon into a smooth, complex red wine that drinks as well with dinner as it does by itself with good company.  Healthy fruit, dark cherries and plums, meld into a finish of dark chocolate, coffee, and soft tannins.  A perfect match for roasted or grilled meats and vegetables, creamy cheeses, or all on its own.

2015 Petit Verdot

This minor blending grape from Bordeaux has become a major part of our story.  Petit Verdot, named for its supposed difficulty ripening in its French homeland, shines like the sun in our vineyards.  We have no problems ripening this grape, and it makes outstanding wine.  It is a wonderful expression of the quality of wines we are capable of, and Point Lookout Vineyards Petit Verdot is the premium wine of our portfolio.  This wine is serious, but still made in our approachable, fruit-forward style, showing dark fruit notes, a lightly floral background, velvet tannin, and a rich palate.  Best enjoyed with deep, savory dishes, like braised or smoked meats, or hard cheeses.
