WINES
Pinot Noir
Chardonay
Rose of Pinot Noir
Chenin Blanc
2018 Sunset Knoll Pinot Noir
This Pinot Noir Grows in one of the coolest areas of the Napa Valley. It is in a low swale surrounded by Pinot that is grown for sparkling wine production (Clone 777). This lucky Pinot Noir gets midday sun but is not exposed to the most extreme late afternoon sunshine, so it is able to ripen evenly without getting too hot. Our berries underwent a 4-day cold soak with daily hand mixes, and then we allowed fermentation to begin with the yeast naturally occurring in this Pinot’s terroir, to harness all the wild aromatics we can get from the flor yeasts that live among our vines. Then we finished the Pinot off with a traditional Syrah yeast. Our Pinot is particularly savory with cedar, vanilla, and star anise aromas. Baking spices, vanilla, red fruit (cherry, raspberry) and black (blackberry, black cherry) flavors, and pepper coat the pallet. All to create a very fun and lively glass of Pinot!
2019 Henry Ranch Chenin Blanc
This wine comes from a very old planting (50+ years) of Chenin blanc and is one of only 7 acres in the Napa Valley that is currently growing Chenin. We whole cluster pressed this fruit into a tiny little tank and chilled her down. We left behind the heavy lees and kept the light fluffy silky lees when we transferred the wine to barrel for a long slow fermentation at cave temperature. Secondary fermentation was completed just after the New Year. We allowed the wine to continue to age on the lees for 9 months before putting it in the bottle. It developed a myriad of beautiful honeysuckle and tropical fruit notes with flavors of pineapple, guava, and soft lemon curd.
2018 Invisible Vineyard Chardonnay
This Chardonnay comes to us from a little dry farmed vineyard in the heart of Napa’s Carneros district. It is a melt-in-your-mouth Chardonnay that has aromas of cantaloupe, papaya, brioche, and peach blossom. With flavors of tropical ripe pineapple, juicy melon, and lemon cream pie. This barrel fermented Chardonnay will quench your thirst, and provide a smooth rich finish that leaves you wanting more.
