{ 2022 White Experiment W9.2 }

Tasting Note

. . .

{ Background and Aims }

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. W9.2 is a distinctive blend of eight grape varieties from six appellations, ranging from coastal mountain tops to rocky valley floors.

{ Methodology }

W9.2 is a distinctive blend of eight grape varieties from six appellations, ranging from coastal mountain tops to rocky valley floors. Working with growers and vineyards from around California provided 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 inspired an elevated effort. The result, we believe, is a complete and compelling expression of a new point of view on white wine.


{ Conclusion }

Enticing notes of guava, vanilla, rose water, green pear, crane melon and brioche exude from the 2022 Experiment W9.2. On the palate, seamless precision pairs with vibrant acidity and verve giving this wine both delightful balance and freshness. We hope you enjoy this adventurous experiment in white wine.
