This Sémillon underwent overnight skin contact in stainless steel, then was fermented in concrete, neutral French, and Austrian oak (37% new) before ageing for 10 months before bottling. A stunningly pretty wine, the nose offers cherry pit, white flowers, and Marcona almonds. It is laser-focused and lean on the palate, with flinty mineral notes, lime zest, lemon peel aromatics, and crunchy white peach. The finish is long and mineral-rich, showcasing remarkable tension and depth. With just 200 cases produced, this is a rare gem. If you can get your hands on it, buy at least six bottles—tuck half away for a decade or more. Sourced from the Monte Rosso Vineyard, perched at 1,000 feet above Sonoma Valley, this is the inaugural vintage, crafted from 140-year-old vines—a true piece of history in the glass.
