The Experimental Story

Put simply, the extremely limited suite of wines that comprise our Experiment Series vary dramatically from year to year, each one a poetic answer to a new set of questions posed by the art of winemaking. While we call these ever-changing wines by the name Experiment, they might also be described as an ‘Investigation’ or ‘Exploration.’

Every new Experiment is but a small bite into a much larger fruit, but each one also tells us something new about our property, our grapes and about the larger subject of wine itself. Only the most compelling Experiments are bottled and released to our mailing list collectors. Many lessons gleaned from Experiment have in turn become new winery practice and informed successive vintages of an estate wine, such as Hexameter.

Tasting Notes

2024 White Experiment W11.4

For this unique Experiment blend, we decided to throw out the rule book and re-imagine how white wine in California can be fully realized. The result is an unconventional integration of varieties that we culled from around the state. Deliberately not focused on a single site, varietal or style, the W series is imagination set free, ingenuity unbound.

Methodology

W11.4 is an unconventional integration of nine grape varieties from four appellations, ranging from coastal mountain tops to rocky valley floors. Working with growers and vineyards from around California gave us the ultimate off-the-beaten-track perspective, while farming conversations among the vines, long commutes to far-flung sites and in-between moments of quiet reflection provided fresh inspiration that elevated our effort. The result, we believe, is a complete and compelling expression of a new point-of-view on white wine.

In Conclusion

The 2024 White Experiment W11.4 emanates aromas of white peach, lychee, passion fruit, lavender and rose petal. Notes of croissant, Jordan almond and Gravenstein apple reveal depth and dimension to the blend. Lively and exuberant across the palate, this wine captures the sublime 2024 growing season with grace and panache.
