A select blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this wine displays all the intricacy and harmony of our Carneros estate fruit. Intense aromatics of lemon zest, pie crust, and yellow nectarine interlay with D'Anjou pear, almond skin, and orange blossom. The palate is bright and textured with citrus, stone fruit, and spice, lifted through the vibrant mid-palate and carrying through a rich, supple finish. Extended aging prior to disgorgement rewards us with remarkable power and depth.
Savor this Late Disgorged Brut with king crab, clam linguine, or grilled salmon with citrus chimichurri. Our sparkling winemaker Zak suggests trying this wine with raspberry cobbler, its bright fruit and toasty crumb highlighting the layers of flavor and fine texture in this vintage.
