+716096 · 12x750ml

100% Chardonnay.
The 2022 Chardonnay is layered with tropical fruit notes of pineapple and mango counterpointed by a core of bright citrus fruits of Meyer lemon, quince, and kumquat then rounded out by granny smith apples, spice, and floral like perfume. The high-quality French oak is well integrated, and the wine has amazing acidity for its richness and complexity.

2022 ROUSSANNE
+715000 · 12x750ml

100% Roussanne.
Intense aromas of pineapple, honeysuckle, and lychee with highlights of brioche and vanilla. The mouth is crisp, with clean flavors of white nectarine, honeydew melon, and lemon zest. Bright acidity provides a lengthy finish of citrus, mineral, and spice.
This is enjoyable on its own, but given the balance of acidity and fruit, it will also be versatile on the dinner table. Salmon or lamb with a fruity tapenade or salsa should make for a great pairing.

2020 PINOT NOIR
+715001 · 12x750ml

100% Pinot Noir.
Carneros, Napa - Rich aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and rhubarb with hints of pomegranate, tea, and earth. The mouth is silky with flavors of red currants, cranberry, and sweet vanilla. Firm acidity and delicate tannins focus the palate and provide a lingering finish of spice and red fruit.
This as an all-around, “drink anytime” kind of wine that would be as appropriate with roasted chicken as it would with grilled striploins or Asian-glazed salmon. Also try Roast or grilled pork, Grilled salmon with cherry balsamic glaze, or Wild mushroom and leek risotto with pecorino cheese.
