  A compelling wine, this begins as a journey into salted country butter, lemongrass and a hint of sea-spray-like brine. Lengthy and spicy, it possesses a great deal of stony minerality that gives it length, breadth and brightness, a vinous come-on to have more.

  Briny, with a taste of salted kettle corn, this offers a nice balance between an edgier, more savory character and the fine-tuned minerality that extends into the finish as bristles of Meyer lemon and wet stone. The aromatics reveal an inviting touch of orange peel and lemon cus…

  An extravagant Chardonnay, rich in buttered toast and vanilla cream from oak barrels, and opulent fruit flavors of ripe, sweet pineapples, golden mangoes and pears. The sur lie aging shows up in a creamy, yeasty richness. Holding this wine for a year or two will not harm it.
