• Region: North Coast, California
• Varietal: 70% Chardonnay | 30% Pinot Noir
• Alcohol: 12.5%
• Tasting Notes: A faintly warm, golden hued rimmed wine, with a fine and persistent mousse. Fresh baked bread intermingle with green pepper, lime zest, and white flowers on the nose. The palate is mineral, slate, with a hint of banana candies and lemon rind pith. There's a density on the palate bolstered by a long finish of flowers and wet stone. Perfect to pair with burgers!

Patricia Green Sauvignon Blanc 2023

• Region: Willamette Valley, Oregon
• Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
• Alcohol: 13.5%
• Tasting Notes: The older vines present a denser, richer, more stately expression the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The 2023 version plays off the richness of melons, limes, lychee and tropical fruits like papaya. It is at once very high in acidity and rich in texture which creates tension and complexity in the wine even at a young age.
