Discover New Favorites For The Summer
Just in time for summer vacations and outdoor adventures, these new releases are bright, vibrant,
and match the excitement of the season.
2021 blanc de noirs
Our Blanc de Noirs offers the red fruit character and depth of Pinot Noir with the appealing delicacy of Traditional Method sparkling wine. Notes of fresh-picked ruby grapefruit, raspberry, cranberry, plum, and citrus blossom open on the lively, brightly textured palate. Earthy, herbaceous hints of dusty forest, lemon thyme, and baked gingerbread bring richness and complexity, balanced by crisp, vibrant acidity.
“[The 2021 Blanc de Noirs] is great for a spring day.
I love to enjoy this wine with my friends out on the porch.”
— Becca Del Solar, Assistant Winemaker
PAIRING INSPIRATION:
This versatile sparkling goes well with raspberries, strawberries, lightly grilled chicken, pork, and fish. Try serving alongside a grilled baguette topped with grilled peaches and burrata, drizzled with honey and balsamic.
Sparkling Sips For Summer
2024 Rosé of PINOT NOIR
Our 2024 Rosé of Pinot Noir offers the perfumed aromas, luster and delicacy that define the best of the style. Fragrant spring florals and ripe red fruit on the nose carry through to the bright, crisp palate, joined by notes of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, and watermelon. Subtle hints of mandarin and creaminess add a touch of richness.
“I love to enjoy this Rosé with my friends and a charcuterie board, particularly on a picnic blanket on
the lawn. We create a beautiful spread and then we
enjoy this Rosé all together.”
— Devan Fredrickson, Senior Digital Marketing Specialist
PAIRING SUGGESTION:
This soft, easy-to-enjoy favorite complements a wide variety of seasonal ingredients, including strawberries, tomatoes, or lobster. Pair with a summer-inspired dish such as melon aguachile with shrimp, avocado, and grilled corn.
Pair Summer Sunshine With Rosé
2023 STRATA Chardonnay
Offering a fruit-driven expression with just a touch of oak character, this Chardonnay opens with fragrant citrus and floral honeysuckle on the nose. Layered fruit notes of apricot, Asian pear, yellow apple, and guava unfurl on the silky-smooth palate. Hints of creaminess are contrasted with a touch of minerality for a beautifully balanced, refreshingly crisp sip.
“My favorite way to enjoy this wine is in my backyard with some friends and some lovely food, like a garden salad or some charcuterie and cheese.”
— Forest Kellogg, Estate Chef
PAIRING INSPIRATION:
Enjoy STRATA alongside summer squash, zucchini, sun gold tomatoes, fresh basil, blueberries, peaches, melon, sweet peppers, and pan-seared fish. Pair it with a crowd-pleasing appetizer, such as fried squash blossoms stuffed with mozzarella.
2023 Eastside Knoll Vineyard Pinot Noir
A plush, velvety smooth expression of our Eastside Knoll Vineyard, offering
rich dark fruit notes layered with touches of earthiness and spice. True to
its Russian River Valley roots, this Pinot Noir offers the region’s signature
ripe red cherry, blackberry, and blueberry characteristics that blend seamlessly
with deeper hints of soft leather, anise, cola, and redwood forest. A touch
of tea leaf-like tannin adds wonderful texture and balance to the smooth richness of the palate.
“Growing up in Cazadero, we spent a lot of hot afternoons picking blackberries. That beautiful, bright, juicy fruit reminds me so much of this Pinot Noir.”
— Forest Kellogg, Estate Chef
PAIRING SUGGESTION:
This exceptional Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with blackberries, plums, sweet peppers, green beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, goat cheese, and BBQ. For an entrée, try it alongside grilled salmon bibimbap.
