Heritage Cuvée
Heritage ~ “Riches of the past”. This wine is our tribute to those who homesteaded our piece of land in the late 1800’s and created a rich history of farming traditions. Our Heritage Cuvée celebrates our commitment to continuing these traditions in hand-crafting artisan wines that uniquely express the sense of place that is ArborBrook. Through dedicated farming and giving back to the land, we are blessed with the fruit that is the foundation for this wine. Enjoy the fruits of our heritage in celebrating traditions with family and friends.

Origin 1866
We are honored to be stewards of this lot of land that is rich in agricultural history. This 100% estate wine expresses the sense of place that is uniquely ArborBrook. The name proclaims the year of origin that our farm first became privately-owned through a donation land grant from the United States of America. At inception, no one conceived of this place being such a wonderful venue for growing exceptional Pinot Noir, but now we see an incomparable mark dominated by the dark fruits and wonderful nuances imparted by our distinct terroir.
2010 celebrates the first bottling of this wine, which is a blend of all four clones currently planted in our Estate vineyard: Pommard, and Dijon Clones 115, 667 and 777.
Estate 777 Block
In 2001, we planted our first 5 acre block of Pinot Noir. In determining what to plant, Dave researched clones, their flavor profiles, what growing conditions they preferred, what they blended well with, how they stood alone, and many other things (along with much sampling, of course). In choosing the Dijon Clone 777, we found that the flavor profile was simply our favorite. The dark flavors of black cherry, cassis, currants, and other dark fruits blended so well with the earthiness of our vineyard site. Our first vintage in 2004 confirmed our decision and we hope you agree!
