The 2021 Lindquist Family Roussanne, Bien Nacido Vineyard, has aromas of quince, honey and hazelnuts. It’s a rich wine in the mouth with nice acidity and balance.

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 medium bodied Albarino has floral aromas with hints of orange and lime blossoms. Bright flavors of white peaches, Myer lemon zest and Marcona almonds come together on the crisp, lively finish.
" 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."

The aromas show a complex array of minerality, apples, pears and citrus, all wrapped up in a creamy French oak robe! The flavors carry those same notes forward, with mouthwatering freshness and acidity. This is a great wine for the cellar, as it will easily mature for another 10-15 years.
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.

This is classic Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay, with aromas of apples, pears, citrus and a nice dollop of toasty French oak. The Maria Vista component, coming from a cooler climate gives the wine a nice bit of minerality as well. The wine has great freshness and balance, and is bottled under Stelvin screw cap for easy access!

Pretty aromas of raspberry and cherries with hints of roses and fresh cut mint. On the palate there’s a creamy mouth feel followed by flavors of raspberries layered with hints of cherries, herbs de Provence and a touch of candied Meyer lemon peel.
