The 2020 Lindquist Family Marsanne is dry and fresh and went through complete malo for complexity and richness.
"Floral notes, melon, white flowers and mint are all beautifully lifted". *92 Antonio Galloni Vinous
This is a wine to drink fresh over the next year or two…or wait un til it is at least 10 years old. With age it gains complexity and a distinct honey nut character. With proper storage, this is a wine you could put down for at least 20 years!

This fresh, crisp, aromatic white is a classic “porch pounder” and is great with light appetizers, mild cheeses or grilled fish tacos.
This is one of the more elegant versions of Bien Nacido Roussanne’s that I’ve made…it reminds me a lot of the 2007 wine, which at 17 years of age is still going strong! Lovely aromas of honey, toasted almonds with hints of vanilla. The flavors are fresh and crisp with a mouthwatering fruitiness. Enjoy it over the next couple years, or better yet, put it away in the cellar for at least 10-15 years for maximum pleasure!

This is a wine for drinking…delicious, juicy, full of fruit, with that wonderful aromatic of ripe Viognier…honey, peaches, lychee and jasmine! It’s bottled with a screw cap for easy access!

The wine is pale golden with aromas of hazelnuts, honeysuckle, and spice. It is round and supple on the palate with flavors of apricots, pink grapefruit and lime-curd are framed by subtle spicy notes.

" The 2023 Albarino, Martain Ranch Vineyard, is bright, chiseled and nicely sculpted. Crushed rocks,, mint, white pepeer, slate are all delineated in this nervy taut Albarino."

*92-93 Antonio Galloni VINOUS - "The 2023 Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vineyard, is bright and nicely chiseled. Lemon peel, crushed rocks, sliate, mint and white pepper lend notable brilliance throughout. This nervy, saline Chardonnay has a lot to recommend it. I especially admire its energy."
This wine is all about the character of ultra ripe Viognier, which dominates the aromas of the wine with ripe peaches, honeysuckle and lychee nuts. The Chardonnay plays a critical supporting role in the wine, giving it freshness, acidity and balancing the alcohol. The aromas carry over into the flavors.
*92-93 (Barrel Sample) Antonio Galloni Vinous
Aromas of exotic citrus and figs and are followed by lush fig and peach flavors with hints of mandarins and white flowers and a touch of bitter almonds. The texture is round and silky and pleasing on the palate.
Made with Certified Organic Grapes.
