Winemaker
Nicole Marchesi
A dry spring and mild summer in 2021 produced small, intensely flavored grapes and exceptional wine.
The 2021 growing season started with very little rain for the second consecutive year. A dry, warm spring led to early budbreak and bloom. Mild summer months with few heat spikes allowed slow ripening, producing small but intensely flavored grapes. Chardonnay harvest began in late August, with moderate fall temperatures permitting a steady harvest throughout September, ending just before the month's end. The intense vineyard flavors carried through to the winery, resulting in exceptional finished wine.
White Wine Club
For the white wine enthusiast, this selection of wines will both refresh and inspire.
Slow, even ripening for soft tannins and rich flavors.
Moderated by its proximity to the San Pablo Bay, Coombsville experiences less severe heat spikes for long, slow and even ripening. Wines from this region often show soft tannins, dark black fruits and refreshing acidity.

“All fresh apples and pastry spices in the nose, this opulent but not obvious wine brings on layers of cream, toast, ginger and poached pears with each sip. The complexity and concentration are impressive, and the finish lingers nicely.”
