"TOP SECRET 🚀 Tasting notes: Pale strawberry color. Medium [-] intensity aromas of rose petals, blossom and strawberry with youthful characteristics. Medium acidity and dry on the palate with medium intensity flavors of same with traces of apricot and white peaches, medium alcohol (13.9 ABV), medium body on a prolonged finish. Very good wine.

"PET NAT!! If you aren’t familiar with Pétillant Naturel wines - Pet Nat for short - it’s what the cool kids are drinking now. Before you commit the wine to final fermentation or riddling you capture the wine with enough CO2 inside to create natural carbonation during the final fermentation. Jason does a great job with this and his still rosé is also worth a visit - some lees and American oak builds structure during fermentation. You can serve this Pet Nat as a traditional sparkling wine in a flute, I’m tasting today in a claret glass to capture all of the flavors and aromas for you. … Review: pale strawberry color, medium intensity aromas of raspberry, strawberry, blossom, pastry crust, with hints of white peach and nectarine with developing characteristics. Medium [+] acidity and Demi sec dryness on the palate with creamy mousse and medium [+] intensity flavors of same with light tannins medium alcohol and a bit of white pepper notes on the lingering finish. Very good wine, drink now - in a large glass to grab all the flavors. … Full video review here 👉🏼 https://youtu.be/SL_CTUudoWw"
"This is a traditional white Bordeaux blend you would find in #Napa with a twist in deference to Steve and Jill and their heritage to the #Friulu region of northern Italy. 50% Sauvignon Blanc 25% Ribolla Gialla 23% Semillon 2% Tocai Friulano (deep apologies for my horrible Italian!) Clear lemon color appearance. Medium [+] intensity aromas of crisp citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon peel, wet stone minerality and stone fruit nectarine with youthful characteristics. Dry and medium acidity on the palate with medium [+] intensity flavors of same with traces of graphite and blossom, full body, medium alcohol (12.5 ABV) and long finish. Very good wine which you might try to hold for a few years like a white Bordeaux but don’t. Enjoy this now and through 2022 with summer fare, seafood and risotto.

"While you might associate Napa Chardonnay with big oak and vanilla, Jill and Steve kept the malolactic fermentation to 2/5 of content with only native yeast. The result is a crisp refreshing mouthfeel reminiscent of Chablis style wines. Clear lemon color appearance. Medium [+] intensity aromas of crisp citrus notes of stone fruit nectarine and peach, orange blossom, grass and honey with youthful characteristics. Dry and medium [+] acidity on the palate with medium [+] intensity flavors of same with traces of wet stone minerality, full body, medium alcohol (12.0 ABV) and long finish. Very good wine, has potential for further aging. Link to full IGTV review: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CQEGfKdn17s/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link "

"TOP 🚀 SECRET Excited to try this vintage once again sourced from Edna Valley AVA in San Luis Obispo County. My notes: Medium ruby color.
