Very creamy and toasty on the nose with bold yellow apple aromas. Mild entry on the palate. A touch of cream surrounds a good core of minerality leading to pears with a light toast on the short finish.
50% of the blend aged in stainless steel and 50% aged in oak. All the grapes for this are sourced from vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault.

Pale lemon-green core with a bright, clear rim. Fresh aromas of pink grapefruit, lime zest, starfruit and a hint of fresh lemon grass. Very crisp and clean on the palate with ripe lime, lemon and grapefruit and a hit of tropical lychee fruit. Nice acid with a clean, refreshing finish.
A killer value Sauvignon Blanc with everything you’d expect: fresh citrus fruits, hints of herbs and very refreshing. Sure to please any white wine drinker, and great for a hot day (or swigging while slaving in front of a hot grill). Works perfectly with grilled fish, chicken or pastas with cream sauce. A rare California value!

Pale lemon yellow core with a clear rim. Candied lemon zest aromas surrounded by jasmine, sweet herbs, wet stone and a touch of cantaloupe. Soft entry on the palate with sweet white peach balanced by a zesty core of lemon. Medium acidity with tons of minerals under the fruit. Medium length with a clean, crisp finish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc (somewhat rare for this region as you often fine Semillon blended with it). Delicious right now, but enough acid and body to hold for a little while. Drink over the next 2 - 3 years.

Bright pale yellow core with a clear rim. Very floral and tropical aromas jump out of the glass: mango, candied flowers, ripe peach and wet stone with a touch of golden delicious apple. Fresh, crisp apples on the front of the palate followed by a touch of orange and tons of mango, all supported by light flint. Medium acidity with a long, lingering finish. This is incredibly easy to drink, yet impressively balanced and complex.
I highly recommend this one for drinking before a meal, with any type of fish or cream sauce dish, or just hanging outside on a warm spring or summer day. Throw a bottle in a cooler, drag to a park and just people watch.

Light lemon yellow core with a bright, clear rim. Rich lemon meringue aromas surround ripe lime zest and loads of wet stones and flint. A touch of fresh herbal notes in the mouth are backed by flavors of Meyer lemon, cream, lime and green apple with a touch of charred vanilla and toast. Medium bodied with a fresh, crisp finish.

Clear and bright in the glass with a lemon yellow core. Very fragrant; bold honeysuckle florals with big lemon, lime and orange zest followed by a touch of sweet yellow pear. The acidity is bright yet balanced on the palate. The bold citrus continues, but is matched well by a smooth creamy pear note and a touch of vanilla on the finish.
The blend varies somewhat each year, but is generally Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Semillon.

Medium gold with a bright rim. The Riesling really lifts the aromas out of the glass giving a bright white flower nose with white licorice and sweet candied citrus peel. Dry and crisp entry onto the palate with apricot and yellow apple flavors. Nice acid and balance leading to a medium length finish. A fun little wine.
30% Chardonnay, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Riesling, 10% Pinot Grigio.

Pale lemon yellow. Fragrant ripe lemon and a touch of pineapple. Decent fruit on the front palate, but a bit thin on the back. Nice ripe yellow pear flavors.
This wine is not yet released from the winery, thus it has no price or value grade.
