Respond to this Story

Sourced from the Sonoma side of the Carneros district, this blend of 87 percent Pinot Noir and 13 percent Chardonnay grapes produce a style dominated by the Pinot's complex aromas and vivid fruit expression. Look for toasty almond, subtle pear and delicate floral notes followed by racy citrus and apple flavors in a lively effervescence. Rated a 90 by Wine Spectator. A versatile wine, good with shellfish, pate, smoked salmon, sushi, and double or triple cream cheeses. Available at most Sav-A-Centers, Elio's Wine Warehouse, The Wine Seller, Lakeview Fine Foods, Martin Wine Cellar (Uptown), Cost Plus World Markets, Rouse's in Metairie, Dorignac's and Juice Fine Wines in Covington.
