2013 Chardonnay released; Summer Whites shipping this week!


We are very pleased to formally release our 2013 Russian River Chardonnay to our wine club this week in the Summer Whites two-bottle shipment.  Not a member?  You may join here!

This 2013 is a personal favorite at our house, it seems to pair with, and make special, the most mundane of weekly dinners (including the dreaded 'dino' nuggets our kids clamor for) and it is sitting at a week-night-friendly 12.5% ABV.  Neutral oak, battonage sur lie, and a careful native fermentation all give this wine a certain refinement; an elegant reflection of its origins on 15+ year old vines along Olivet Road.  If you've banned dino nuggets from your house, we also recommend pairing with coq au vin or poached salmon :)



We did not make much of this wine, so please act fast this fall should you wish to re-order.
