2025 Wine Enthusiast Spring Reviews
Grand Scheme • February 13, 2025

93 Points - "Excellent" ratings from Wine Enthusiast!

2023 Estate Carneros Chardonnay
"This unoaked Chardonnay brings aromas of green apple, lime peel, and lemon verbena on the nose. The palate feels a bit fleshier, with flavors of green papaya, tart pineapple, Meyer lemon, and apple blossom pulsing across an acid-driven finish."
Tom R. Capo

2023 Estate Carneros Pinot Noir
"This bright and fruit-forward Pinot displays loads of sunny personality and ripe cherry and strawberry aromas on the nose. The palate possesses a vibrant streak of raspberry-lime acidity and flavors of crushed Bing cherry, black tea, cinnamon, and whispers of rose petals that linger and linger." — Tom R. Capo
