“Textured and grippy, this light-bodied, high-acid white is refreshing and complex, with layers of Meyer lemon, grapefruit rind and tangerine. It rides the palate with a seamless energy of lasting freshness and subtle herbaceousness that appeals.” – Virginie Boone

WINE ENTHUSIAST
“A refreshing expression of Chardonnay with a youthful vivacity from start to finish. Florals lead, with notes of jasmine blossom and honeysuckle, followed by bright, juicy fruits of lemon, lime, white grapefruit, and white nectarine. A hint of flint that just touches the back palate adds a notable complexity.” – S.B.

“You are at a table on a beautiful day. You can smell the honeysuckle and other white flowers in the center as you nosh on strawberry yogurt with a dash of citrus and take in the sun. Do you want this to end? No. I didn’t think so. That is this wine.” – Keith Beavers

WINE ENTHUSIAST
“Simple and straight-forward, this Pinot Noir has notes of bright red cherry, red plum, and boysenberry complemented by subtle oak tones. Tannins gently coat the mouth; elevated acidity provides freshness. An overall well-balanced and fun expression of the grape.” – S.B.

WINE ENTHUSIAST
“Nervy and savory, this medium-bodied wine mingles bay laurel, raspberry, tobacco, and new leather on a lightly tannic and slightly tangy texture. The wine is lively, a little grippy on the palate and makes the mouth water for the next bite of food.” – J.G.

WINE ENTHUSIAST
“This is an elegantly understated red from the region, flavorful in candied plum, raspberry and a welcoming dusty note. Clove, cedar and dried herb contribute savory components that make for a complex balance of personality on the light-bodied palate, lifted by lilted red fruit.” – Virginie Boone

WINE ENTHUSIAST | CELLAR SELECTION
“Impressively structured and handsomely spiced, this medium – to full-bodied wine exudes serious scents of toasted oak, graphite and pipe tobacco followed by nicely dry black currant and black-olive flavors wrapped in firm but fine-grained tannins. A bit austere to show its best stuff while still young, this exceptional wine should drink best from 2027– 2037.” Cellar Selection – J. Vargas
