About this winery

Laughing Stock Vineyard Founders David and Cynthia Enns led conservative, methodical, and calculated lives in the Financial Industry. In 2003, they followed their hearts, and bullishly invested everything into the wine industry. An emotional decision that their pinstriped peers thought was ... fiscally foolish, and financially unwise. The Laughing Stock name may have unwittingly been conceived at this time.

Production notes

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted by both bunch and berry upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation takes place primarily in stainless steel tanks, with a few oak fermenters and extended maceration on some batches.

Tasting notes

The 2020 vintage, an always mysterious blend, presents on the nose a soft and tasty combination of fresh grass and ripe fruit. This wine has hints of lavender and dark chocolate with hints of sweet vanilla on the finish. The palate balances juicy notes of red cherry, cranberry and dark plum. The wine has tension and offers an accessible structure.
