2023 B.C.V. SONOMA COUNTY PROPRIETARY WHITE BLEND THE WINE A true representation of cool-climate white wine, this blend offers fruit with incredible concentration, framed by ample acidity and minerality. VINEYARD NOTES Located in the heart of Sonoma County, these certified sustainable vineyards possess the rare combination of excellent soil, old vines and ideal cool climate. Each vineyard sees long periods of morning fog and cool coastal wind in the evening. VARIETAL COMPOSITION 75% Chardonnay 18% Sauvignon Blanc 7% Grenache Blanc VINTAGE NOTES A winter abundant in rain and cool temperatures led to late budbreak and a temperate spring. Moderate temperatures throughout the summer, with few heat spikes allowed for even ripening with higher-than-average yields. This long growing season resulted in ideal phenolic ripeness, with the fruit retaining its natural acidity, while developing incredible concentration. WINEMAKING NOTES Gently whole cluster pressed, cold-settled for two days, with only native yeast fermentation. The wines are then racked into a combination of concrete eggs and neutral oak barrels, with each lot aged on the lees for 6 months. TASTING NOTES Layers of honeysuckle and green apple with touches of almond and pear. Bright, with refreshing acidity throughout and a silky textured midpalate. Herbal with strong notes of citrus and melon over a clean, linear finish.
