Carneros is magical for Merlot, allowing it to ripen deep into October for additional layers of flavor without compromising freshness. With the 2014 vintage, aromas of dark blackberry, boysenberry, nutmeg and brown sugar echo on the palate along with notes of leather and black tea. A wine with horsepower, rewards await those who opt to cellar. Winery exclusive. 194 cases produced. 

Crafted with just 3.25 tons of small berries, this delicate, creamy Chardonnay was fermented in concrete eggs before aging on the lees in French oak barrels. The 2015's harmonious aromas and notes of lemon meringue, fresh pear and toasted coconut surround a firm core of natural acidity and minerality - an indicator of exceptional age-ability. 

There is purity to this wine that asserts itself as the first delicate notes rise from the glass.  Citrus elements dominate with an underpinning of stone fruit indicate the precision and focus that drive this wine.  A hint of reduction is conveyed by the note of struck match.  The palate offers lemon pith and river stone with a mouthwatering acidity that offers freshness without austerity.  Modest ripeness eliminates any heat on the finish from excess alcohol.  

Pinot Clair is a white wine made from the black-skinned Pinot Noir grape.  It is hard to believe that what started out just a few years ago as an experiment has turned into a Club favorite with a cult following.
