Did You Know

Fume Blanc is usually a barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc.  The barrel ferementation adds depth and richness to the wine, giving it an aroma of toasted oak and vanilla.  Our Fume Blanc is our signature white wine and won "Best of Fest" at the 2003 Colorado Rocky Mountain wine festival.

Garfield Estates is focused on producing the finest wines from premium Colorado grapes. We insist on low yields in the vineyard and attention to detail in our cellars. Our distinctive label is a symbol of our commitment to quality.

Currently, Garfield Estates makes seven wines — Vin Rosé, Fumé Blanc, Viognier, S2 - a blend of Semillon and Viognier, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Vin de Glace.

2006 Fumé Blanc

From our inception we have developed a strong reputation for this remarkable wine, and 2006 continues the tradition. This release could be our best yet! The wine is 100% barrel fermented in a combination of French oak and stainless steel barrels. The barrel fermentation allows for extended lees contact which results in an exceptionally rich wine with characteristic smoky notes and a long complex and lingering finish. The acidity and balance are excellent with a crisp clean feel on the palette. Our warm climate develops strong tropical flavors in our Fume Blanc with pronounced notes of citrus and melon in the nose. Enjoy with a wide range of foods but it pairs exceptionally well with spicy Thai and Vietnamese foods. 434  cases produced.

$13.99 per bottle

2006 S2 - Semillon/Viognier

Last year's S2 sold out in record time. The 2006 S2 maintains the unique blend of Semillon and Viognier. This wine shows fruitiness, with flavors of melon, pineapple, pear on the palate while still maintaining crisp acid and a clean finish. Fermented in only stainless steel with no oak aging, this wine is light, crisp and perfect for paring with summer cuisine. 489 cases produced.

$9.99 per bottle

2007 Viognier

Just our second year producing a 100% Viognier, this wine is really starting to show its potential in the Grand Valley. Much like other Rhone varietals, such as Syrah, V0 thrives in our climate and produces wines with outstanding fruit, acidity and balance. The unique low acid nature of Viognier makes a wine with excellent mouthfeel. This wine is bursting with tropical fruit flavors of mango, pear and passion fruit on the nose. Many people in the wine industry consider Viognier the “next white” to storm the market, much like Pinot Grigio did a few years back. Fermented in 100% stainless steel the wine is crisp on the palate and is a perfect complement to rich seafood pasta or a hearty winter soup like Butternut squash.

$19.99 per bottle

 

2007 Vin Rosé

In the tradition of the great European Rose's, this wine is a full bodied "dry" style of Rose reminiscent of Spanish Rosato. It offers an excellent alternative to Red wines on those hot summer days and pairs very well with a variety of foods including BBQ and grilled Salmon. Made from 65% Syrah this wine is spicy and refreshing at the same time. 200 cases produced.

$11.99 per bottle

2005 Syrah

A robust red with the classic "earthy" tones of a great Rhone style wine, the 2005 Syrah hints at the greatness this grape can achieve in our vineyard. We continue to believe that Syrah may be the grape that defines the Grand Valley. Rich tones of black cherry and lavender on the palate followed by a long complex finish and silky smooth tannins make this a very approachable wine. Pair with hearty "country cooking" or a great steak; either choice will be a hit. 600 cases produced.

$16.99 per bottle

2006 Cabernet Franc

Like our earlier Cab Franc releases, this grape continues to show enormous potential in the Grand Valley.  Our 2006 exhibits bright yet soft fruit favors of blackberry and plum.  Benefiting from 14 months in French and American oak, the wine has very soft tannins, a long complex finish and is slightly brighter on the palate than the 2005.   It will continue to improve for 3-5 years in the bottle. 428 Cases produced.

$15.99 per bottle

2007 Vin de Glace

This wine is produced in the icewine style.  Made from 100% Muscat Ottonel, a highly aromatic variety, it has an intense floral nose.  Although very sweet, the wine exhibits excellent acidity to balance the sugar levels.  Fans of this unique style of wine will find it to be quite a treat! 295 Cases produced.

$26.99 per bottle
