A recent 5-Star Google review:
My husband and I passed by a sign for Mercer House Winery on a recent vacation to Lake Murray. I had spent the week prior looking for things to do, so it came as a surprise! I made a reservation for a tasting for the two of us this past Sunday, and we had a wonderful time! Shannon is a wonderful man with lots of fun. Great stories. He had us laughing the whole time - it was definitely worth the experience with him alone, with the added bonus of his wonderful wine creations. I highly recommend booking a tasting to get out of the Sun and try something different. The wines are all very unique and we ended up bringing home several bottles that we fell in love with. Definitely worth the stop!

What Is “Noah” Wine?

And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard... Genesis 9:20

Behold, the wine of Noah is no mere bottle drawn from modern artifices, but a vintage rooted in the very soil of postdiluvian earth. When the floodwaters did abate and the ark came to rest upon the mountains of Ararat, Noah, the faithful preacher of righteousness, carried forth not only beasts and birds, but also the seed of the vine, grapes of many kind, diverse in skin and soul.

This vineyard, the first of man’s planting after the judgment of the flood, was what now is called a field-blend, wherein many a variety of grape grew side by side, and their fruit was gathered as one, pressed together into a single vat. In the days of the patriarchs, such a practice was necessity, not preference. Yet in this mingling of fruit was born a wine of ever-changing voice: each vintage a new psalm, each press a different melody, played upon the tongue.

Unlike the modern vintner who doth boast of "perfect terroir" and cultivars pampered by hand and hedge, Noah had no such conceit. He used no chosen strain of yeast from sterile vial nor stainless steel. Nay, he trusted the wild yeast upon the skins, God's own invisible ministers, to stir the fermentation. It is this yeast, not the grape alone, that bringeth forth the soul of the wine. For though a Merlot be grown in France or farthest land, it changeth not in flesh, but the yeast, like the spirit, shapeth its destiny.

Moreover, the wine of Noah was wrought not in barrels of oak nor tanks of glass, but in amphorae of clay, great earthen vessels, such as were borne within the Ark for water, oil, and victuals. These same pots, called qvevri by the men of the east, are still made in the land of Ararat unto this day. Some hold five hundred gallons; mine own is but thirty, yet it lieth buried in the earth, where the deep ground keepeth it at a faithful fifty-five degrees, like unto the coolness of Eden's shade.

Since the days of the Flood, some four thousand three hundred and seventy-five years past, by sacred reckoning, this method hath endured. It is not the invention of man but the inheritance of Noah, the first husbandman of the vine.

Even so, my wine, though made of native Muscadine grape, is in the spirit of that ancient cup: a field-blend of nineteen varietals, touched by wild yeast, and transformed in clay beneath the earth. Thou hast ne'er tasted its like, nor shalt thou again. For as with manna in the wilderness, it cometh but once, and its flavour is bound by time, place, and Providence.

Such a wine is known as "Vinum" (2010): $180.
