Cabernet Franc Cabernet Franc (Cab-er-nay Fronk) - is considered to be one of the hardiest of the viniferous grapes yet it still struggles to survive in Missouri's climate. Planted in 2001 as an experiment, 2004 was our first harvest. We hope to offer a complex full bodied varietal wine while also using Cabernet Franc to blend with our Cynthiana and Chambourcin.
Chambourcin Grape Chambourcin (Sham-bor-san) - is a French-hybrid Grape (Joannes-Seyve 262050) well adapted to growing in Missouri. Chambourcin typically produces a medium-bodied wine that boasts a mild spice aroma and flavor mingled with cherry and earth tones.
Chardonel Grape Chardonel (Shar-doe-nel) - crosses the best of the Chardonnay and Seyval Grape providing the characteristics of the viniferia with the hardiness needed to survive in Missouri. This grape provides the wine maker the opportunity to develop a variety of wines from a rich, full-bodied, dry white wine with a complex buttery finish to a light, sweet wine with a fruity finish. 2004 will be our first year to harvest Chardonel.
Cynthiana/Norton Cynthiana/Norton (Sin-thee-ana) - is an American Grape (vitus aestivalis) that grows well in the complex and frequently changing weather of Missouri. Recently named the "State Grape of Missouri" it offers the wine maker an opportunity to produce a full-bodied, deep colored wine that carries complex earth tones along with rich berry and spice flavors.
 
Vignoles Vignoles (veen-yole) - One of Missouri's most versatile white grapes, Vignoles produces wines with luscious floral aroma and fruity flavors of pineapple and apricot. Baltimore Bend Vineyard planted ½ acre in 2006 and hope to have its first harvest in 2009.

2005 Vintage Update
The 2005 Chambourcin is now in the bottle and starting its aging in the bottle. The '05 Chambourcin is a medium bodied wine that has developed a spicy nose and a smooth finish. 2005 Cynthiana has been fined and we’re preparing for bottling by end of January. The '05 Cynthiana is developing a nice full mouth feel with hints of black cherry and spice. Both of these dry red wine vintages will be released on April 26, 2008.

2006 Vintage Update
Our 2006 Chardonel is now in the bottle and aging. It continues to offer a distinct toasted nut aroma with an almond finish. We recently racked the '06 early harvest Cynthiana and it exhibits an exceptionally full mouth feel and smooth finish for this stage of the aging process. Some of you may have tasted this vintage at our Holiday Open House and Barrel Tasting.

Our late harvest, '06 Cynthiana is going to be a real eye opener as it continues to age in French oak barrels. All that have tasted it from the barrel say it's going to be an outstanding vintage. The '06 Chambourcin has that spicy nose that has come to define Baltimore Bend dry red wines. The '06 Cabernet France is again exhibiting a medium body with a peppery nose. It will be exciting to see how these wines develop over the next year. As always, it's our goal to not mess up what was developed in the vineyard.

2007 Vintage Update
Coming soon!
