The 2024 White Blend is a curious blend of 80% Assyrtiko, 19% Sémillon and 1% Malvasia Bianca, all from the Alexander Mountain estate. It’s outrageously distinctive and flat-out delicious. There’s so much texture here. Chalky, grippy, zippy and lifted, the 2024 oozes character. White flowers, sour orange, white pepper and lemon oil pop from the glass. What an expressive, engaging white.

The 2022 Chardonnay Zayante Vineyard is a richer, riper style for the Santa Cruz Mountains, certainly amplified by the warm growing season.

A thin line of mouthwatering acids enlivens the finish, closing with a spark of toasted spice. Very well done, and particularly well balanced.

Mountain structure provides a framework to the core of yellow plum, dried apricot and lemon zest, all presented in a voluptuous yet just-restrained-enough body that finishes long and salty. Beautifully rendered.

True to its name, the 2023 Pinot Noir Jolie is remarkably pretty. Subtle and understated, the 2023 has a slight rustic edge in its underbrush, turned soil and mushroom aromas that lurk beneath its lifted floral top notes. It's another balanced, elegant wine that speaks in hushed tones but doesn’t have a single hair out of place. Gorgeous.

The 2023 Chardonnay Skycrest is quite a bit more generous than the Aurelia tasted alongside.

Sea spray, lemon pith, tarragon and white pepper are all articulated with good focus and delineation. The 2023 has an attractive sense of reserved power.
