Made in a Blanc de Blanc style, focused on the Chardonnay grape, the 2011 Brut showcases the winery’s best vineyards from the small bay influenced Carneros AVA in southern Napa County. Fresh green apple, bright tangerine, and baked apricot aromas are complemented by lemon shortbread and marzipan developed by years of aging on the yeast. The clean driving flavors are dense with ruby grapefruit, fresh pineapple and Granny Smith apple pie. Refreshing on entry and lingering on the palate, the wine delivers from start to finish!
