Appellation: Temecula Valley

Alcohol: 11.5%

Residual Sugar: 0.2%

Oak: Not Oaked

Composition:
87% Albariño
13% Pinot Grigio

Tasting Notes: Our 2021 Albariño has aromas of Honeysuckle, and Jasmine, with Green Apple and Nectarine on the palate, and Bright Acidity on the finish.

Winemaker’s Notes: This Iberian variety is very well suited for our Mediterranean climate, which makes it an obvious choice for us to utilize. Albariño tends to get richly honeyed if over ripe, so we harvest ours a little earlier. We also blended in some crisp Pinot Grigio to further lighten the wine. While the floral, honey notes are still present and appreciated, they are balanced nicely with grassy, herbal notes, and a light, crisp finish.

Food Pairing Ideas: Grilled Salmon, Cioppino, or light salads with chicken breast

Appellation: California

Alcohol: 13.9%

Residual Sugar: 0.2%

Oak: N/A

Composition: 59% Viognier, 41% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:

Fresh breezes of lychee, white peach and limestone rise from the glass in our 2021 Solace, broadened on the palate with a hint of honey and pear with ample crisp acidity to assure a refreshingly clean finish.

Winemaker’s Notes:

Our 2021 Solace is a blend of Chardonnay and Viognier The Chardonnay adds notes of citrus and cream, balanced perfectly with tropical and stone fruit notes from the Viognier. This wine is unoaked, keeping it crisp, clean, and refreshing.

Food Pairing Ideas:

Grilled Fish Tacos, Margarita Pizza, Buttered Popcorn
