Member Price: $36-$43 

A dynamic blend of Viognier and Sémillon, the Proprietary White Wine is an expression of fruit and balance, representing a wine rich with aromatics and flavor while clean and bright upon the palate. 

Tasting Notes

Gorgeous aromatics of white lily, jasmine, and citrus blossom enticingly waft from the glass. Upon the palate, honeydew, apricot, and white peach mingle with hints of honeysuckle on the finish. This wine coats the mouth with a great weight while being perfectly balanced with soft, subtle acidity. Barrel fermented in neutral oak lends to delicate hints of brioche and vanilla. Enjoy this delightful wine with your favorite chicken or light fish recipes or as a perfect pairing with oysters and sushi.

Vineyard Notes

The 2023 vintage marked the end of our three-year drought, bringing nearly 30” of rainfall that contributed to the revitalization of our soil profiles and fostering robust canopy growth. The vintage was one of the mildest in the last 10 years which provided a long hangtime, allowing full flavor development leading to very expressive flavors and aromas. As soon as the fruit set after flowering, extensive hand work began in the vineyard opening the canopy to allow for full sun exposure on the fruit. This leads to full, concentrated flavor and ensures the fruit is as expressive as possible. The 2023 vintage will be one for the ages and we feel these wines truly capture the exceptional year.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is a blend of Semillon and Viognier pressed together with varying percentages of each varietal in each press load. The wines are allowed to stay on their lees for an extended period before a barrel by barrel selection for the final blend. This wine is bright, complex and layered, with luscious florals notes and rich, ripe tropical fruit notes.
