Food Pairing
Pair with goat cheese and fig/olive crackers, garlic chicken smoked over an oak fire, white sea bass, truffle risotto, or just good old fashioned cheese cake.
Tasting Notes
This wine will remind you of the hair color and sunny charm of a California beach blonde. Enjoy hints of crabapple and kneaded bread dough on the nose. The palate expresses the bracing white minerality of a waterfall, complemented by lime blossom. The finish will remind you of the silky texture of crème brûlée dancing across your tongue.
Vineyard Notes
The 2020 is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir Clone 2A and 20% Chardonnay 4, both from Rio Vista Vineyard.
Winemaker Notes
We use the term Cuvée to specifically indicate a blend, a wine produced from a mixture of several grape varieties, rather than a varietal wine. Our other five sparklers are single varietal and single vineyard. Thus, our Cuvée will vary in the blend from year to year and always be a pleasant surprise.
