Zinfandel
FULL-BODIED, POMEGRANATE, RASPBERRY, RED CURRANT, THYME, NEUTRAL OAK
Despite being relatively new to the scene, Claire Hill (who worked throughout Sonoma, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and with the legendary Éric Texier in the Rhône Valley before launching her own winery in 2016) has already proven herself an incredibly talented and thoughtful winemaker. Her Zinfandel is unusual, in the best way – elegant but structured, it has delicate, perfumed aromatics, roaring acidity, and none of the stewed prune flavors you often see in California Zin.
WINEMAKING : Low-intervention; slow & cool fermentation in stainless steel (to prevent extracting harsh/bitter flavors); aged for 18 months in neutral French oak
FARMING : Organic
PAIRING : Fennel & Sausage Pizza
$10

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!
FARMING : Conventional
PAIRING : Seared Tuna with Cucumber Salad
