Winemaker Notes
Food Pairing: A great vegetable wine, especially anything to do with tomatoes and basil; Florida stone crab; grilled lobster, broiled white fish with a tangy sauce.
"This winery continues to produce strong efforts including the beautiful 2003 Cuvee R T-Bar-T Vineyard, a blend of 82% Sauvignon Blanc and 18% Viognier. There is abundant character in its big, projected nose of melons, rose petals, honeyed grapefruit, and orange rinds. Medium-bodied, dry, crisp, and refreshing, it should be consumed over the next 1-2 years."

Iron Horse is best known for its Sparkling Wines, which have been served at the White House since 1985, beginning with the historic U.S.-Russian Summit Meetings ending the Cold War, at the White House Millennium celebrations ushering in the new century, and at the White House dinner honoring the Pope.
Their Chardonnay is considered a signature wine for the cool, foggy Green Valley region. Pinot Noir is the winery's rising star wine.
Iron Horse has been named an American icon in a reference book published by Random House called "Icons of the American Market Place". Listed in alphabetical order, Iron Horse takes its place between iPod and Jack Daniel’s, validating Iron Horse’s reputation as a brand backed by pride, passion and quality.
The Iron Horse name came from a train that cut across the property in the 1890s. The logo, the rampant horse on a weather vane, came from a 19th century weathervane found while clearing away the rubble to build the winery.
