{ 2024 White Experiment W11.4 }
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.
{ 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.
{ 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.
