{ 2023 White Experiment W10.3 }

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.  e 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 }

W10.3 is an unconventional integration of nine grape varieties from 6 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 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.


{ Conclusion }

The 2023 Experiment W10.3 exudes notes of coyote mint, fresh cut hay, brioche and jasmine that beguile and intermingle with lively aromas of passion fruit, apricot, fresh peach, lychee and cantaloupe. Vibrant and fresh with a compelling richness across the palate this wine beautifully captures the lavish and delightful 2023 growing season.
