A stunning white wine, succulent, intense and complex, featuring fleshy nectarine, apricot and honey-drizzled ripe melon at the core, with litsea oil and lemon verbena aromatics that linger in the background. Bracing acidity cuts through this version's medium body, leaving a refreshing finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2028.

We get so very little of these wines every year, and we take every last bottle! Beautifully pure notes of lemon oil, lime zest, and Ruby grapefruit set the pace as heady aromas of white peach and crushed rock bring up the rear. This classic blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon creates a wine of two distinct parts yet harmonizes into one seamless experience. Bracing acidity cuts a razor-sharp edge through a supple, textured roundness brought on by the addition of Semillon and 100% new French oak aging.
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.
