Distinctive, revealing robust Key lime, yuzu, lemon verbena and lemon zest notes, with a savory thread of saline and a touch of dried ginger and graham cracker. As powerful as this is, there is a sense of restraint, while a refreshing thread of acidity keeps the flavors in focus. Drink now through 2029.

Act Fast, Only 14 Left!
Shimmering in the glass with hues of pale straw and the slightest tinge of youthful green, the 2021 Shared Notes Les pierres qui décident is unmistakable as its explosive personality, quite literally, fills the air. True to its name, where the rocks “decide” the style, this wine opens with subtle notes of chalky stone and sea air that give way to a dazzling display of crisp and remarkably pure notes of crisp pear, Granny Smith apple, lemon verbena, and peach blossom. Flavors of lemon tart, nectarine, and freshly cut herbs surge across the palate, then give way to vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. 94 points from Wine Spectator, outscoring many of the top whites from around the world, this is simply a stunning wine to please even the most demanding oenophile.
About the Producer
Shared Notes is the winemaking joint-venture between wife and husband, Bibiana Gonzalez Rave and Jeff Pisoni. Both had early desires of making wine, and spent most of their lives doing so. The year 2012, however, marked the first vintage that they produced together.
