Our Chardonnay comes from a fog shrouded micro vineyard just 9 miles from the Sonoma Coast, just south of the town of Sebastopol. The Wente clone offers great citrus and floral flavors with a rich mouth and crisp acidity. It’s not oaky and not buttery.
Our Marin Pinot balances power and elegance. Its bouquet displays notes of Bing cherry, leather, rose petal and subtle hints of baking spice. On the palate you will find a lovely round mouth feel, with structured tannins, balanced acidity and flavors of cherries, blackberries, and tea. It finishes with flavors of tart cherries, berries, toasty baking spice, and a hint of sage. 200 Cases Produced
Our chardonnay is barrel-fermented in 15% new French oak. Our goal is to produce a wine that shows the tiniest amount of pretty oak spice. It is aged in a barrel (French oak) for 10 months.
It is not stirred to help preserve the fruit flavors in the chardonnay.
The strain of MaloLactic bacteria that performs the malolactic fermentation does not produce a lot of buttery flavor.
The result is a beautiful, round chardonnay that comes across as bright and lively on the palate.
Our Pinot Blanc in from Schrader Vineyard, which is just south of the town of Ukiah in Mendocino County. Pinot Blanc is a Pinot Noir grape that has lost its color gene. It is usually found in the colder climates of Europe, but is gaining popularity in the new world. It is fermented cold in stainless steel and does not go through malolactic fermentation. 240 Cases Produced
