CALIFORNIA : SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
Pinot Noir
MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACKBERRY, RASPBERRY, CHERRY ANISE, CLOVE, OAK
Listed on Robert Parker’s Best Wineries of the World in both 1989 & 1999, Au Bon Climate (which is owned by renowned winemaker Jim Clendenen) has achieved an almost mythic level of celebrity in the wine world … and rightly so, in our opinion! Food-friendly and age-worthy, the 2019 Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County punches way above its price point with mouth filling intensity and suppleness. Still quite young, it should remain “fresh” for the next 6-7 years, but will become more complex & continue to improve with age.

Oregon : Willamette Valley
Chardonnay
MEDIUM BODIED, ORCHARD FRUIT, FLORAL, CITRUS, SALINE, SOME OAK
Super fresh aromatics of ripe orchard fruit (think apple, pear, and nectarine) with fragrant white blossoms on the palate. A touch of key lime zest, grapefruit pith, and saline minerality provide balance and complexity. A gentle expression of vanilla and toasted oak shine through.

NEW ZEALAND : AUCKLAND : KUMEU & HUAPAI
Chardonnay
MEDIUM-BODIED, FIG, PEACH, MINERALITY, CRISP, OAK
A combination of oak and stainless steel fermentation results in a hefty mid-palate and an amalgam of tropical fruit notes. Citrus and salty sea air aromas waft on the bouquet while cleansing acidity and ripe fruit dazzle the palate. Ki’ora mate!
