Our Wines

In 1585, when Ralph Lane, the governor of the English colony at Roanoke, told Sir Walter Raleigh he had found better vines growing wild in the New World than existed in England, the Old World quickly embraced American wine grapes.
Our French-American hybrids use the strong American stock crossbred with the best French varieties for a northern climate. We planted our first grapevines in 1997 and 2003 was our first commercially licensed year to sell wine.
The varietals we grow are: Maréchal Foche, Frontenac, Leon Millot, St. Croix and Swenson Red (reds) and St. Pepin and LaCrosse (whites). We also produce Pinot Noir from the Cattrall Brothers’s small, hilltop vineyard in the Willamette Valley, Oregon,and Charles Barra’s Redwood Valley Vineyard in Mendocino County, Calif. By Christmas, 2006, we will release Silver Spoon, our Reserve Pinot Noir, made from Charles Barra’s fine Pinot Noir grapes. Prairie Thunder, our newly released Petite Sirah, also comes from grapes grown at Charlie’s vineyard. Lise Rousseau and Al Silva grow superb organic Lambert cherries at their meticulous Fat Robin Orchard and Farm on Finley Point beside Flathead Lake in Montana, and that’s the secret of our Flathead Cherry Dry.
Born and raised in our Rattlesnake Valley, Maile Field and her husband Lars Crail provide us with beautiful Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown at their Dancing Crow Vineyard, a former pear orchard in Lake County, Calif., planted by Maile’s ancestors who went West for the Gold Rush. Raspberries from Common Ground Farm and apples from Sophie’s Apple Orchard, both in Arlee, Montana, on the Flathead Indian Reservation, round out our 2006 fruit wines.
Our 2006 vintage year, a banner year for fruit, is producing about 4,200 cases of wine—700 cases more than 2005. All our grapes and fruit are certified organic with no added sulfites. Our wines are all produced and bottled at Ten Spoon Vineyard and Winery.
You can count on no sulfites added to any Ten Spoon wines.
