This wine never fails to impress. With 91% Pinot Noir and 9% crisp Chardonnay this robust sparkler offers a full round mouth-feel with subtle flavors of raspberry, orange peel, yeast and red fruit. Perfectly balanced acidity creates endless food pairing opportunities. Don’t wait for a celebration… Drink today! Buy This Wine
A soft and round SB with neutral oak aging. Aromas of apple with notes of caramel. Subtle apple and caramel extend to the palate with pear and citrus and hints of apricot. A touch of zippy acidity rounds out the wine. Buy This Wine
A very well-made Chardonnay with a nice balance of creaminess and acidity. Aromas of apple, pineapple and minerality fill the nose while round flavors of apple, honeydew melon, citrus and tropicals caress the palate. Buy This Wine
An enticing nose of apple, pear and Creme Fraiche with notes of citrus and honeycomb. A lush mouth-feel filled with flavors of apple, pear, ripe pineapple and baking spice with hints of oaky vanilla and buttery cream. Well balanced enough to avoid the butter-bomb label.
A beautifully rich and complex Pinot with a full nose of cherry and forest floor. The palate is caressed with jammy flavors of strawberry, raspberry and red berries with hints of ripe plum and saddle leather. The long finish is enhanced by mouthwatering acidity. Best laid down for a while but if you drink it now…decant for maximum pleasure.
