2009 Viognier earns 93 from Wine Enthusiast



The buzz in the blogosphere is that our 2009 Viognier was designated an Editor's Choice and awarded 93 points by
Wine Enthusiast, which is the highest score given to a white from the Rogue wine country according to columnist Christine Collier at SouthernOregonWineBlog.com. You can look for the review in the March issue. With less than ten cases left at last count, now may be your last chance to cellar some away for this summer.

The new vines are in!



After four long days of planting, we got the last of our new vines in the ground. We planted a little over 13,700 plants in two areas, about 8,000 new Viognier plants in Block 2 and 5,500 Marsanne and Roussanne plants in Block C. It was a tremendous group effort with family and friends assisting Cowhorn over the four day period. We look forward to added white wine production in two to three years. Keep your fingers crossed.
