July 2026 94 Points The Tasting Panel Magazine

Classically styled and highly polished, this medium-bodied blend of 80.3% Chardonnay and 19.7% Pinot Noir (which fermented in 22% oak and spent three years on lees) is the complete package. From aromas of freshly baked bread and bright notes of green and yellow orchard fruit to a whiff of forest air and captivating hints of white fig and pine nut, it’s a serious wine that nonetheless affords pure pleasure.

Vibrant and refined, with multilayered apple and pear flavors accented by brioche, cherry and spiced cinnamon tones that linger on the rich finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now.

Chardonnay-driven, the 2021 Apple Alley Vineyard is released later in the year than the Clark Road Vineyard, given more time on the yeast, with a March 2025 disgorgement. It has a crisp structure and purity, with more oak presence than the 2020, and 5 grams per liter dosage. It has a bold sense of place, sourced from a vineyard above the winery, fleshy, creamy, and medium-bodied, with a toasty concentration that persists through a long finish. Drink now and over the next 10-12 years.

The NV Brut Rosé is a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay with 10-12% of wine from cask in the bottle, representing five to seven vintages’ worth of wine two to seven years old. There’s less reserve here than in the Brut, and the Pinot Noir makes it more expansive, with a more rounded texture. The wine is also quite structured. There’s a bright purity of cranberry and red cherry happening on the medium-bodied palate. Disgorged August 2023 with around 8 grams per liter dosage. Drink now and for the next 10-12 years.

As with previous releases, the NV Brut is a 60-40 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a refined mousse and dry, crisp, lengthy layers of green apple, citrus, and a bite of brioche. With 10-12% reserve wine from cask, it represents from five to seven vintages in one bottle, from two to seven years old, the style of the house. The reserve aged in oak adds texture and length, broadening the Chardonnay’s natural citrus-driven notes and lightness of being. Disgorged April 2024, the amount of dosage has gone down year to year and is around 9 grams per liter this time around. Drink now and for the next 8-10 years.
