We call this vineyard “Le Ciel Serein” - The Serene Sky. Rolling hills of exceptional soil are the hallmarks of this site, carefully developed between 2002 and 2004 and planted with Wente clone Chardonnay. This winery exclusive Chardonnay shows a medium yellow hue with an exotic palate, presenting roasted macadamia nut, crème fraiche, and zesty lemon peel. With only 192 cases produced, Le Ciel Serein is a delightful treat for all. 

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.
