2022 Chardonnay

Our delicious Chardonnay comes from grapes grown at the foothills of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. They meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2022 growing season in the Monterey area was stellar – warm during the day, cool at night, allowing for a long hang time on the vine. The beautiful straw color of this decadent, yet focused wine starts with hints of green apple with apricot and ripe peach following. The rich creamy texture has notes of buttered popcorn with a finish that is rich & full with toasted oak notes.

Drink this with grilled fish in the summer or Dungeness crab with clarified butter in the fall or winter.

2022 Sauvignon Blanc

Our delicious Sauvignon Blanc comes from grapes grown at the foothills of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. They meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2022 vintage was challenging starting with a two week plus heat wave with temperatures above 110 F. However, this wine comes from Monterrey and was buffered by the cool breeze from Monterey Bay.

Citrus, honeydew melon and apple fruits in the nose are complimented by toasty vanilla oak and a slight grassiness. The bright acidity in the mouth is rounded by viscosity from sur lee oak aging followed by flavors of lime, grapefruit and oak spice in the mouth. This wine is viscous yet has a good acid backbone to stand up to food. Share this wine on beautifully warm days with some fruit, cheese and your good friends.
