2026 Spring Allocation Release Booklet

2024 CHARDONNAY

RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY Opalescent pale straw with a slight green tint. Aromas of tart apple and ripe pomaceous fruit are lifted by notes of lemongrass and subtle honey essence. On the palate, fresh citrus and crushed oyster shell frame a clean, precise core, complemented by just a hint of brioche. The mid-palate shows excellent texture and energy, carrying through to a crisp, mineral- driven finish. WEST SONOMA COAST The wine shows a bright pale straw color with a green hue and a faint pearlescent haze. Expressive aromas of apple and pear are underscored by saline and mineral notes. Brisk acidity and crunchy sea salt create a salivating tension, balancing a focused, mouth-filling mid-palate. The wine carries through with purity and energy, culminating in a long, refreshing finish shaped by lingering coastal minerality.

RICHARD DINNER VINEYARD, SONOMA MOUNTAIN

Pale straw with a subtle green tinge. Inviting aromas of red apple skin, apricot, and Meyer lemon zest are underscored by wet stone. The palate is creamy and layered, unfolding into notes of Dijon pear, Key lime, and brioche, accented by cinnamon and nutmeg. A well-structured frame and lively salinity carry through to a focused finish with a lingering mineral tension.

GEORGE MENINI ESTATE, RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

Pale straw in hue, this wine opens with aromas of pomaceous fruit, Granny Smith apple, petrichor, and a hint of lemongrass. A bright palate reveals layers of Bartlett pear, lemon pith, and river rock, supported by a rich, layered entry and a salivating acidity. Vibrant and lifted, the wine carries through to a memorable and elegant finish.
