2018 Goat Bubbles Brut Cuvée, Santa Barbara AVAs   (retail $48)

$36/bottle
$403.20/case

Tiny bubbles and pale straw color delights the eye. There is zero dosage, perfect as nature intended it. Enjoy yellow pear, lemon peel, chalk and flint on the nose. The palate is well-balanced, like two acrobatic rock-and-roll dancers, and shows textured flavors of apricot, 7Up and pastry dough. One of our Ambassadors noted that this wine is the "Elysian Fields of the palate." Pair with sushi, chilled shrimp and caper lemon or fried calamari. Cheese, such as Humboldt Fog and truffle goat, are tasty options. Dessert pairing includes nectarine cobbler with vanilla ice cream for the home run. 147 cases produced; Pinot Noir clone 2A & Chardonnay clone 15.  

2016 Pinot Noir, Rio Vista Vineyard Clone 2A, Sta. Rita Hills AVA  (retail $46) 

$34.50/bottle
$386.40/case

A dense, ruby colored Pinot emitting black cherries, baking spices and dried rose petals on the nose. The palate begins with sweet pie cherries in the front and transforms into dark mulberry and dried orange peel. The fruit from this vineyard has matured over the years creating a dapper gentleman of a Pinot Noir from what we once considered a shy teenager. Now bold enough to pair with herb crusted lamb, roasted chanterelles, duck leg confit or dark chocolate coated apricots with almonds. 157 cases produced; Pinot Noir 2A.
