	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 (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 (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.
	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 (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.

2009 Vintage Update
2009 was a rough growing year all around. With cool summers and wet weather, it was a challenge for all of the grapes to ripen fully. We are seeing some of these affects in the wine, as the 2009 Chambourcin has some green flavors to it. As it ages in American oak, we believe it will soften and age nicely. Most of the 2009 Cynthiana is aging in French oak barrel which will be made into our Cynthiana Reserve. We'll be tasting both of these varieties during our Spring Release and Barrel Tasting, May 1-2, 2010.

The 2009 Chardonel is aging in stainless steel and will be bottled in early summer.

2010 Vintage Update
Our Chardonel vines were pulled out in 2009 as a result of disease and nematode issues. We'll be replacing the Chardonel vines in 2011. We'll also be planting an acre of Seyval blanc grape vines in spring 2010 and adding more Vignoles vines.

Some bud damage has been noticed in the Chambourcin vines due to the extremely cold winter weather mid-Missouri experienced in January. We'll be pruning to accommodate this loss, so no crop load should be affected.
