The viticultural areas where we harvest our grapes include Rattlesnake Hills and Yakima Valley. In 2011 we harvested 58,000 lbs. of grapes from Elephant Mountain & Sugarloaf Vineyards, Yakima; Crawford Farms, Prosser, and Lonesome Springs Ranch, Benton City. Working closely with the vineyard owners, we monitor all stages of growth and assist in the agronomic decisions leading to harvest. We personally transport the fresh grapes (on-the-stem) directly to our winery in Billings. After arrival, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed within 30 hours post-harvest. Fermentation, pressing, cellaring and bottling are completed on-site using our own equipment. In our first year we sold about 1,000 cases of wine. We'll ramp up to about 1,500 cases this year, and level off in 2013 to about 2,250-2,500 cases--which we anticipate will be our sustainable annual production.
