Pinot Blanc RETROSPECTIVE
Los Carneros 2015 & 2016 MAGNUMS

Aged to be opened. We make wines that age gracefully. Most people and restaurants no longer age wines or don’t have access to aged wines. Our feeling is that if we are making classically proportioned wines that age well, we have to age the wines ourselves. And YES, even our white, ramato, and rosé wines age well.

2015: Pale straw in color and clear in the glass. Aromas are fresh and subtle, with stone fruit, citrus peel, green apple, and ripe pineapple. Savory notes come forward alongside hints of gentle creaminess, soft spice, herbs, and stone. It is mouth-watering and steady, showing energy without sharpness and texture without heaviness. It shines with food and becomes more interesting as the meal progresses. The finish is long, even, and quietly persistent. Released from the cellar with purpose more than ten years after bottling, this is a vintage Pinot Blanc with a settled, confident character and broad appeal. It is aged to be opened.

2016: A shimmering reminder that there are other white wines besides Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Fruit notes lean toward apricot, Meyer lemon, golden apple, and melon, with layers that refresh and make you want to take a bite, then a sip… and repeat! This perfectly aged Pinot Blanc in a Magnum exudes the elegance only a well-crafted white wine can. The mellowed fruit is complemented by a nutty toastiness that adds depth and complexity, contrasting with its mouthwatering crispness.
