Rounded aromas of toasted macadamia nut, butter and honeysuckle draw the nose into this bottling. The palate is all about classic California Chardonnay, but in a balanced manner, pairing nutty, buttery flavors with hints of lemon chiffon and stones wet from the sea. — **Matt Kettmann 91 Pts Wine Enthusiast

The 2022 Co^lluvial™ “Las Nenas” Chardonnay bottling is grounded in the majesty of California’s Santa Rita Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area). The fruit is drawn from the La Rinconada Vineyard.  Planted in 1997, La Rinconada sits adjacent to the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. Home to 20 vineyard blocks and 12 clones, La Rinconada is also primarily Pinot Noir, complemented by some very special Chardonnay vines. This site enjoys the maritime influences of the Pacific Ocean, in particular the fog and cooling winds provide the perfect conditions for a longer growing season. The lower portion of La Rinconada is a sandy loam, which transitions to more clay loam mixed with diatomaceous earth, alluvium soils and shale on the hills closer to Sanford & Benedict.

The 2022 Co^lluvial™ “Las Nenas” Pinot bottling is grounded in the majesty of California’s Santa Rita Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area). The fruit is drawn from the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard.  First planted in 1971, this vineyard is home to the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Santa Barbara County. Named one of the five most important and iconic vineyards in California by Wine Enthusiast, the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is renowned for both its historical significance and the continued quality of the fruit it produces.  The vineyard has some of the most complex soils we have been lucky enough to work with.  Mostly clay and clay loam, this hillside vineyard is also strewn with pockets of limestone, fracture shale, chert and other sedimentary deposits. This mixture gives the soil great water holding capacity from the clay but breaks up the matrix by aeration and drainage from the stony components.

"Quite light in the glass, this bottling offers pomegranate, cranberry and hibiscus aromas on the nose, with touches of cinnamon and wet stone adding depth. There's a prominent oak flavor to the palate, where the juicy strawberry core is decorated in cappuccino and mocha touches." Matt Kettmann 92 Pts Wine Enthusiast

"The 2024 Blanc de Noir still Pinot Noir is vinified off the skins, similar the method used in Champagne minus the bubbles. The wine retains aromatic vibrancy, creamy concentration, briny and mineral undertones which are hallmarks of the regions "terroir" and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Growing up in the island of Puerto Rico this wine reminds me of the ocean's "Rocio Del Mar" or sea spray". Fernando Fernandez, Winemaker
