“No one will set it down and just forget about it.”
“Succulent and seductive, with festive raspberry and lemon crème brûlée flavors accented by fresh gingerbread and spy stones, which glide on the creamy finish. 93 points.” – Tim Fish
“2018 vintage – Ranked #1 American Sparkling Wine.”
“Fascinating but restrained flavors of apricot, yellow plum and raspberry are revealed on the palate, backed by subtle acidity and a nice, dry tension in the balance. This elegant wine is light amber/salmon in color, and offers complexity, depth and a mouthwatering texture. 94 points. — Jim Gordon
“After tasting, with friends, a half dozen of your offerings, my daughter and her fiancé chose the Wedding Cuvée for their December 9 wedding. It was a huge hit! Guests kept exclaiming how good it was… thank you for helping to make the celebration as wonderful as it could be!”
TASTING NOTES
A delicate blush hue with spirited bubbles and a silky mousse, the 2020 Wedding Cuvée enchants with vibrant raspberry aromas, hints of strawberry, and a dash of citrus zest. Bright red fruit flavors unfold on the front palate, flowing seamlessly to the mid-palate, followed by a pop of red apple and a creamy richness that culminates in a tex-tured grapefruit finish.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Wedding Cuvée is our interpretation of a Blanc de Noirs. In blending this wine we chose Pinot Noir lots that were extremely expressive and fruit forward. Then in a decided step away from convention, we blend in a bit of steely Chardonnay to add a firm acid backbone. Hand harvested in the chill of early morning our Pinot Noir is gently pressed as whole clusters. The juice slowly ferments in stainless steel tanks at 62° to 65°f retaining bright fruit aromas and flavors in the wine. The dosage for the 2020 Wedding Cuvée is 2 mls Blanc de Noir LEX, 2 mls Blanc de Blancs LEX, and 4 mls 2019 Gold Ridge Pinot Noir.
Squash blossoms have a short but beautiful season and this dish honors their delicacy and unique flavor. You can embellish with your favorite quesadilla additions. Delicious with one of our delightful Chardonnays.
