A select blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this wine displays all the intricacy and harmony of our Carneros estate fruit. Macadamia nuts, orange blossom, lychee, and honeysuckle welcome the nose and suggest beautiful integration of flavors. The palate is luscious and layered with poached pear, white raspberry, nectarine, and honeycomb - notes of ginger and tarte au citron riding long on the finish. Extended aging prior to disgorgement rewards us with remarkable power and depth.
Savor this Late Disgorged Brut with king crab, clam linguine, or Italian sausage risotto. Our sparkling winemaker Zak suggests trying this wine with raspberry cobbler, its bright fruit and toasty crumb highlighting the layers of flavor and fine texture in this vintage.
