TASTING NOTES

From the rolling hills of Santa Barbara County comes the inaugural release of Blanc de Mer — a fresh expression born from some of the region’s most storied vineyards. Each lot was vinified separately using native yeast, then aged thoughtfully in a mix of neutral oak and stainless steel. The final blend is layered, textural, and bright. On the nose, you’ll find citrus blossom, yellow apple, and ripe pear. The palate is vibrant and mineral-driven, offering a clean, saline finish that invites another sip. -Winemaker's Notes

 

90pts - Vinous
"The 2024 Blanc de Mer is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Energetic and vibrant, there's great texture and salinity to lift the bright florals. Lemon, white flowers and orange peel build with air. A clean, crisp finish begs for a plate of oysters."
