Greg Brewer og Steve Cliftons delte visjon for denne populære druesorten er distinktiv og ganske ukjent for de som søker en smøraktig stil. Den viser kamille, løvetannblad, japansk pære og bensin på…

Fra produsentens eiendomsvingård plantet på Olivet Bench, er denne sublimt teksturerte hvitvinen parfymeaktig, frisk og kompleks. Den gleder med fyldige lag av pære og honning i like stor grad, og vi…

This is a blend of Testarossa's far-flung vineyards across California, hence the statewide appellation. It's extraordinarily rich and explosive in apricots, pineapples, guavas, nectarines, buttered t…

This is one of the bigger, more powerful Chardonnays out there in the market. It's triumphant in ripe pineapple jam, apricot-infused crème brûlée, Meyer lemon custard, buttered toast and cinnamon spi…
