Tasting Notes
2021 Don’s Block — NEW RELEASE
2021 Don’s Block Pinot Noir has an expressive aroma layered with dried cherry and potpourri. Subtle notes of forest floor, clove, and a hint of cedar add depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is vibrant yet silky, with a graceful mouthfeel that marries energy and elegance. Juicy red berry is supported by hints of blood orange and tea leaf. The acidity is bright and precise, lifting the fruit while balancing the wine’s refined tannic structure. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of cherry pit and subtle dried herbs. A gentle earthiness emerges as the flavors fade. This is a nuanced, age-worthy Pinot Noir that showcases both purity of fruit and site expression.

2021 La Combette — NEW RELEASE
2021 La Combette lures you in with a generous bouquet, led by pomegranate, red currant, and violets. The palate is richly textured, offering a luscious mouthfeel balanced by engaging tension. Vibrant red fruit flavors are complemented by savory undertones, all framed by a lively acidity that keeps the wine taut and focused. A subtle salinity adds complexity and accentuates the precision of this block. The elegant tannin structure weaves seamlessly through the array of distinctive flavors, each fading slowly into a finish that is undeniably satisfying

Food & Wine Recommendation
Beloved Brown Butter Cake
PAIR WITH: 2021 La Combette
This recipe came from an Emeritus wine dinner held at the Sonoma Golf Club last year. Chef Peter delighted the audience, and it’s been one of our favorite pairings with La Combette since, no matter the vintage!
