Grape(s):

Appellation:

• Sonoma County

Vineyard Notes: Sourced from cool-climate sites across the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Carneros. Marine fog preserves natural acidity and balances fruit ripeness.

Winemaking Notes: Combination of primary fermentation in stainless steel (to retain fresh fruit) and neutral/low-percentage new French oak barrels. Undergoes partial malolactic fermentation with occasional bâtonnage (lees stirring) for texture.

Serving Temperature:

• Cold (45-55F)

Food Pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, seared sea scallops with lemon-butter sauce, crab cakes, or creamy mushroom risotto.

Closure: Cork

Scores: 89–91 pts (Wine Enthusiast / Wine Spectator - notable "Best Value" contender).
