When the wind is in your favor, and life’s waves are carrying you forward, the key to happiness is to recognize and appreciate these moments. We named Fairwinds to mark these special times and created our wines for you to ‘live in the moment’ and celebrate the fair winds of your journey.  The brilliant and audacious Admiral Lord Nelson held the telescope to his blind eye and claimed not to see the signal to retreat. He won the battle.

We introduce you to Blind Eye. Crafted from a ridgetop vineyard on Mount Veeder, our Blind Eye 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the essence of its terroir. The long, cool 2019 season allowed for extended hangtime, resulting in a wine of remarkable structure and balance. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, and lingonberry intertwine with nuances of crushed cocoa, violets, and thyme. Silky tannins complement the complex fruit profile, leading to a lingering finish of black tea and kirsch.
