Napa Valley… feels like my Napa Valley. There was a period of 5 years when I drove this valley everyday to and from “work” when I was fortunate to manage wineries that were nestled into the benchlands of this extraordinary place. While I made my way in the early hours, I can still recall seeing the dramatic clouds as they painted a perfect picture in front of me, smelling the briskness of the morning air, and on occasion hearing the fire of the hot air balloons that would ascend quickly upward. This are things I’ll never forget, as the beauty and magic of this region is what wine is all about to me.

The Napa Valley is a world-renowned wine region celebrated for its diverse microclimates and rich soils. The valley’s rolling hills, fog-kissed mornings, and sun-kissed afternoons create a perfect place for grapes to rise to superiority. The combination of volcanic, alluvial, and loam soils gives the vines a rich tapestry of nutrients, contributing to the complex and nuanced flavors found only in Napa Valley wines.

What this all means… this place can make some kick-a** wines that rival the worlds finest. :)

Like fine jewelry in a glass, the color is a gorgeous light-to-medium gold. Lightly oaked and more full-bodied than our past Chardonnays, the aromas are pronounced tropical fruits like banana and mango, followed by honey crisp apple and light citrus.. so beautifully expressive. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with flavors of light creamy oak with an abundance of fruit all showcasing the height of their excellence.

This wine is one of the main reasons that I love our membership. We get to create and release wines that are at the ideal place in their journey to enjoy today. It’s perfection in a glass..

Cheers - Eric 🍷
