| Our Vineyard |
In 2003 we planted 6 acres in Syrah, 4 acres in Cabernet Sauvignon, 2 acres in Sauvignon Blanc, and 1 acre in Viognier. We had our first harvest in 2008. Our first estate wines will be on the market in 2010.
Currently Le Mulet Rouge® produces 500 cases of wine a year, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot, Mourvedre and Barbara with grapes bought from local growers. |
A Vineyard Story
 |
I never knew the earth
had so much gold-
the fields run over with it,
and this hill
Hoary and old,
Is young with buoyant blooms
that flame and thrill.
From Feuerzauber, Louis Untermeyer |
 |
GO-you may call it madness, folly;
From To..., Samuel Rogers |
 |
Clear had the day been
from the dawn,
All chequer'd was the sky,
Thin clouds, like scarfs of
cobweb lawn,
Veil'd haven's most glorious eye.
From A Summer's Eve, Michael Brayton |
 |
And Winter, slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face
a dream of Spring!
From Work Without Hope, Samuel Taylor Coleridge |
 |
Broad-based, broad-fronted,
bounteous, multiform
With many a valley impleached
with ivy and vine
Wherein the springs of all the
streams run wine
Ben Johnson (title & author) |

I knew not but in every leaf
That sprang to life along with me,
Were written all the joy and grief
Thenceforth my fate to be.
From Fraternity, William Canton |

Where my world went green and fair
