Sweeter Side | Spring 2025
Wines that add an extra sip of sweetness to summer. Perfect for a garden party, patio brunch, relaxed picnic, or lake day treat. Enjoy this selection from across our collections, including a taste of our new release, Blood Orange Spritz.
Berry Blend
When you’re looking for a tart, rich wine this is the one you should grab. This blend of Oregon Marionberries (aka blackberries) and bright blueberry creates a delightful, rich flavor. Savor its jammy scent and deep burgundy color while you sip. Add to iced tea with a slice of lemon to complete a warm day in the garden, or reduce into a dressing or sweet dessert sauce.
Creekbend Catawba 2023
A tasting room favorite. Catawba is native to our climate and known for its soft, fruity flavors including strawberry, peach, and melon. If you’ve ever gotten the chance to try a Catawba grape, you’ll know that the flavor in the glass is straight from the vine. Share with friends at a garden party. Pair with a charcuterie board with light cheeses, fruits, honey, and a hint of spice.
Blood Orange Spritz
This Italian-spritz-inspired sipper is the newest addition to our Real Fruit Moscato™ collection. Refreshing, juicy blood orange adds mellow and bubbly citrus to tropical Moscato. It’s a sippable, ready-to-pour spritz. Amalfi-on-a-budget, ready to elevate any stay-cation, or perfect a trip to the beach. Perfect for sun-kissed moments from an al fresco brunch, to a farmers-market picnic, or evenings under patio lights.
GoGo Spritz
- 4 oz Blood Orange Spritz
- ¾ oz elderflower liqueur
- 6 mint leaves
- 2 oz soda
Tear up mint leaves and muddle in glass. Add Blood Orange Spritz, elderflower liqueur, soda, and ice. Stir. Garnish with a mint sprig and blood orange wedge. Enjoy!
Vidal Blanc Late Harvest 2022
Grape varietals used for wine are much sweeter than your average table grapes. The longer they’re on the vine, the sweeter they get. We hand-harvested these Vidal grapes on a crisp, late November morning before the sun was up to bring you this exquisite dessert wine. Tropical flavors delight the palate, with hints of pear and honeysuckle woven throughout. Sip after dinner, while the crickets chirp and the fireflies emerge.
Key Lime Pie
We’re sending Key Lime Pie as a little reminder that summer is on the way (it’ll be here before you know it!) It channels all things sunshine, and is the perfect choice to bring the beach vibes to you. Add to a cocktail (we suggest this margarita), or save it for the days of blistering heat and whip up some boozy popsicles. Enjoy with friends by the pool, or while you cross off your summer reading list to complete the experience.
Passion Fleurtini
Refreshing & bright passion fruit are followed by a blush of soft & floral rosewater. A delicate delight that brings to mind a dusky oasis. Serve chilled and share with friends for a candlelit summer evening, refreshing brunch, or day-date picnic.

Farewell Creekbend: A Letter from Bill
The Creekbend Vineyard era has come to an end. For over 30 years, it played a vital role in Oliver history, teaching us invaluable lessons about grape growing in the eastern United States. While some varieties didn’t thrive as expected, others flourished, producing exceptional wines. I will always cherish the memories—the challenges and the successes.
Cellar Club | Spring 2025
Crisp wines with a dry palate to refresh your spring. Delicious with patio dinners, sun-kissed lounging, and elevated evenings. Enjoy this selection from our Creekbend and Flight series all season long.
