2021 Fleur de Solène

Made for my wife and my muse, Solène. One of her wishes for our portfolio, is to feature a wine that tastes great from the moment it is bottled and could age potentially for a decade. It greets you smoothly, with silky, chalky tannins and an elegant mineral finish, promising to age nicely.

2022 Sweet Clémentine

For our oldest daughter, Clémentine. She was the sweetest thing I had ever seen, so in her honor I made a dessert wine, our Sweet Clémentine. Whether you like sweet wine or not, give this wine the chance to enchant your palate. We stop the fermentation halfway through by adding some local boutique brandy. In this way we keep some natural sweetness and fortify the juice to get a Banyuls’ style dessert wine. It shows more red wine characteristics than regular dessert wines and finishes just like a dry wine due to the balance of the sweetness. Accompanied with cheese or dessert or by itself, it will be the perfect ending for your dinner. It has aged in neutral oak for 15 months.

2022 L'Imprévu - Members Only

Returning Spring 2025 through membership only.

Due to the demand, I will say with my passion of sourcing fruit on very special blocks and creating something unique for our portfolio we are so happy to have it back and offering it as part of our Spring Release. We took a team trip to visit one of the king terroirs and weather for Pinot close to our area, Santa Rita Hills: Radian Vineyard, owned by the Hilt Winery who also owns Jonata and the Screaming Eagle in Oakville Napa Valley. After our visit and meeting with my friend Matt Dees, the winemaker, an exceptionally talented and genuine human being, I fell in love with the vineyard and it reignited the flame to bring back L’Imprevu. The color is deeper, more chalky tannin with extreme freshness on the finish, layered on the front to back. *We only made 130 cases, only 110 cases were bottled, available for the Spring Release. We saved 20 cases to intentionally barrel age another 5 months to discover what it could become. A waitlist will be made available for those collectors. SOLD OUT

Named after Guillaume & Solene's son born in 2012. It comes from a cooler area in Santa Maria Valley to make this wine a little more like France's cool climate Syrah and inspired by Cote Rôtie. Similar to the Hommage à nos Pairs it was also co-fermented with Viognier, fermented with stem, the texture of this wine is outstanding that will age for more than a decade. This wine displays a brightness with broader tannins and much more pepper spices.
