  4. Blend till silky smooth on high or pulse a few times for a more rustic texture.

This wine captures the purest expression of fruit, offering a layered snapshot of the varietal as it ripens on our Rutherford estate. To achieve depth and balance, we harvest in multiple passes — early picks preserve bright acidity and citrus notes, the mid-harvest selection highlights optimal varietal character, and the final pick brings richer tropical tones.
