2025 humble beginnings chardonnay

From Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, this Chardonnay is bright and expressive, showing aromas of honeysuckle, lemon, white peach, pineapple, and passionfruit.
The 2025 growing season unfolded with a mild spring and steady, temperate summer, allowing for slow, even ripening and exceptional flavor development. Cool coastal evenings preserved the region’s hallmark acidity, while the gentle progression of the season delivered fruit of remarkable purity and balance.

Fermented primarily in stainless steel with a portion aged in neutral oak sur lies, the wine delivers purity, freshness, and texture. The palate is driven by lemon and lime zest, layered with white peach and floral notes, finishing with vibrant acidity and a clean, lifted profile.

2025 humble beginnings pinot noir

Sourced from the Russian River Valley and aged in neutral French oak, this Pinot Noir opens with red cherry, strawberry, plum, and pomegranate, followed by layers of blackberry, boysenberry, baking spice, cocoa, and savory herbs. The palate is bright and lifted with silky tannins, carrying red fruit and spice through a long, balanced, and elegant finish.

What makes the Russian River Valley so extraordinary is its rare interplay of coastal influence and diverse soils. Morning fog drifts in from the Pacific, slowing ripening and preserving natural acidity, while the region’s patchwork of well‑drained loams and ancient riverbed soils encourages depth, nuance, and purity of fruit. It is a place where Pinot Noir finds both finesse and vibrancy—qualities that have shaped generations of winemakers drawn to its quiet magic.

These wines are more than just another new release. They are a reflection of where we come from and a continuation of our legacy.
