2023 Enotria Moscato, Mendocino, California (750ml)
About the Icons
Greg Graziano's ancestral roots are in Northern Italy, the area that is famous for, among other great wines, Moscato d'Asti, with all its seductive charms. He seems to be one of the few winemakers in California who have nailed the technique required to do this well, and his Enotria Moscato is frizzante (lightly sparkling), low in alcohol and gorgeously aromatic, just like its namesake.
2023 Hourglass Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, California (750ml)
About the Icons
The Hourglass estate Napa Valley is more well known for its excellent Cabernet Sauvignon blends but they also make great Sauvignon Blanc as well. Five contrasting vineyard sources between Yountville in the south and Calistoga in the north, plus three distinct fermentation vessels provide a breadth of nuanced lots here that create layers of complexity once blending is complete.
2023-C Violet Hill Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County, California (750ml)
About the Icons
A Monthly Wine Club Selection
Although a native of Napa, Rob Fischer had no plans to pursue a professional path in winemaking. That quickly changed when he landed a summer job in the tasting room at Domaine Carneros. His seasonal employment soon morphed into a series of fortuitous opportunities, rapidly jumpstarting his winemaking career. Upon graduating with a degree in Enology from Fresno State, Rob joined Étude Wines as associate winemaker, and for the next 9 years advanced to winemaker positions at Étude, Lyric and Beaulieu Vineyards. He is currently the director of winemaking for Valravn, Averaen and Marine Layer. Violet Hill is Rob’s latest project, with a mission to produce affordable, single-appellation, terroir-driven wines, sourced from vineyards up and down the West Coast. We are happy to feature this bottling from their inaugural vintage as part of our Monthly Wine Club.
