Tasting Notes:
With aromas of freshly cut hay, lemon and elderflower, the wine’s naturally bright acidity delivers citrus notes alongside a touch of minerality, crushed seashells, and apple blossom. From its time on lees there is a delicate yeastiness that adds complexity and depth to the wine. With a barely perceptible dosage, the result is an evocative representation of the Carneros terroir.
SUGGESTED PAIRINGS:
The Napa Valley Blanc de Noirs pairs beautifully with a diverse array of foods, including figs, Époisses, Moliterno al Tartufo, escargot fettuccine, swordfish with olives and fresh tomatoes, or a goat cheese omelette.
