Broadside 2020 Central Coast Chardonnay
Chardonnay grape from California. Fermented in tank and transitioned to 30% new French and 8% new American oak post-fermentation.
Cameron 2020 Dundee Hills Clos Electrique Blanc
Clos Electrique is the organic and dry-farmed estate vineyard for Cameron Winery. As one of the warmer sites in the Red Hills of Dundee, the grapes are picked earlier to maintain a balance of ripeness and acidity. For their Chardonnay from this vineyard, the wines are meant to emulate the richness of Meursault. This vintage is described by the winemakers with notes of "notes of honeysuckle, creme Anglaise, lemon curd, marzipan and orange blossom. The palate mirrors the nose along with unctuous mouth feel resulting from 2 years contact with the yeast lies prior to bottling."
Eminence Road Farm Winery 2021 Finger Lakes Basket
A blend of 52% Pinot Gris, 39% Chardonnay and 9% Gewurztraminer coming from various loam, shale and slate soils around Cayuga and Seneca lakes, Basket is a new wine for 2021 that sees around five days skin maceration and is aged in a combination of stainless steel and old French oak. The name is in reference to the tiny Basket Creek that winds past the farm and into the Delaware River a few miles away. There's a nice mix of some orange blossom, lemon and apricot fruit with subtle floral aromatics and a savory streak that keeps it interesting. As with all of the 2021s from Eminence Road it's low in alcohol - 10.5% - but try not to drink it too fast as it really opens up and develops some layered complexity after about an hour if you can keep your hands off for that long. It's a delicious and easygoing orange wine that's sure to be a crowd pleaser this summer, with enough substance to keep the wine crowd happy as well. Pure sunshine in a basket!
Eminence Road Farm Winery 2021 Seneca Lake Lamb's Quarters Riesling
Riesling from the Seneca Lake Lamb’s Quarter vineyard, crushed, de-stemmed and pressed before aging in stainless steel for twelve months. The 2021 shows some rich texture and body that responds well to air. There is subtle white peach and almost tropical fruit and a sleek minerality that takes some time to develop. Best served chilled but not too cold, this is a unique style of Riesling from the Finger Lakes that should evolve for years to come.
Kelley Fox 2021 Willamette Valley Dux Vineyard Chardonnay
A new bottling in the Kelley Fox lineup, this is from a vineyard planted in the Dundee Hills with cuttings from Cameron's legendary Abbey Ridge vineyard. "Its appearance is that of pale spun gold with brilliant transparency. Because of both its youth and seriousness, the nose as I type these words is restrained while also delicately perfumed with vanilla, pears and cream, along with a hint of salinity. This character continues in the mouth on a lovely frame and texture, ending with a long finish. I can’t wait to see what this Chardonnay does over time. I would suggest holding this wine for a few years before opening. There’s this alluring golden pear energy that it has." (KF)
Newfound 2020 Napa Valley Semillon - Yount Mill Vineyard
100% Sémillon from the Yount Mill Vineyard in Napa Valley's Oakville AVA. Sémillon accounts for just 8 acres of the total planting and is currently the oldest section of the entire vineyard with vines dating back to 1960s. 20 months élevage, bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Scythian Wine Co. 2022 Lopez Vineyard Palomino
This is mostly Palomino with a small amount of unknown red and white varieties mixed in, all from the sandy granite soils of the Lopez Vineyard in San Bernardino. The grapes were hand-harvested and macerated with the skins for a week, then fermented in a Sherry bota from Ramiro Ibáñez of COTA 45 along with a used French oak barrel before resting for six months to complete malolactic conversion. If you're familiar with the COTA 45 unfortified Palomino wines from Jerez this shares some similarities, with a saline mineral core and dreamy texture that suggests endless pairing possibilities. It's a subtle coppery peach in the glass and has great acid structure, with enough body to hold up to meats while still feeling sprightly and alive. This was a standout and should not be missed!
Valravn 2021 Sonoma County Chardonnay

The wine aged for 10 months in barrel before the final blend was assembled.
