MT. CARMEL CHARDONNAY VINTAGE 2018
Tasting notes courtesy Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
The 2018 Mt. Carmel Vineyard Chardonnay shows the natural breadth that is so typical of this site…exquisitely beautiful and vivid, with dazzling purity that really brings a core of citrus, orchard fruit, floral and mineral notes to life…Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers and chamomile are some of the many aromas and flavors that come alive in the glass…powerful and yet also remarkably translucent…
MT. CARMEL PINOT NOIR VINTAGE 2017
Tasting notes courtesy Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
The 2017 Mt. Carmel Vineyard Pinot Noir is a wine of pure and total sophistication. Aromatically intense, light on its feet and incredibly resonant, the 2017 is simply dazzling. Sweet red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender and spice all run through this striking explosive Pinot. I am blown away by the wine’s freshness and extraordinary balance. Wow!
STA. RITA HILLS PINOT NOIR VINTAGE 2018
Nose full of dark fruit and dried herbs. Lifted and seductive with notes of black cherry, thyme and peppercorn. Broad and generous on the palate with dense and vibrant red fruit. The core of red fruit is accompanied by a freshness that keeps it buoyant and vibrant. The finish is driven by delicate and fine tannins that carry the fruit and allow it to linger. A wine of power and elegance. Matt Dees, Winemaker
