The much-anticipated, inaugural release of La Dame Michele Sparkling Rosé shimmers with a blush pink hue. The aromatics are floral and citrus-driven—wild strawberry, rose petal, and mandarin zest, intertwined with delicate hints of ginger. On the palate, a bright, juicy medley of summer berries, pink grapefruit, ripe peach, and clementine unfolds over notes of freshly baked brioche and a mineral freshness. The texture is lively and polished, with a fine mousse finish and silky effervescence that carries through to a refreshing, floral finish of remarkable poise.

The 2024 Reserve Chardonnay is sourced from the Carneros Gap Vineyard, a site located in the rolling hills of the Los Carneros AVA in Napa Valley, shaped by wind and fog from San Pablo Bay. Striking golden straw hues with pale yellow highlights appear in the glass opening with aromas of baked apple, pineapple, and hints of citrus blossom, butterscotch, and flint. Flavors unfold with bright citrus tones of grapefruit and papaya, interwoven with white floral and vanilla notes and a refined streak of minerality. Creamy roundness evolves into a silky, vibrant finish carried by notable acidity and weight. This small-batch wine was aged 10 months sur lie in 67% new French oak, with 70% malolactic fermentation. Only 51 cases produced.

The 2020 vintage marks the fourth micro-production vineyard designate from Twisted Oak Vineyard in Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley. The nose is bold and expressive, with intense black fruit layered with leather and a distinct old-world Barolo charm. On the palate, the wine unfolds with black cherry and toasted peppercorn, delivering a tapestry of dark, savory, and mineral-rich flavors. The powerful texture, framed by firm, structured tannins, carries the experience to a very long finish. Aged for 28 months in 72% new French oak. 169 cases produced.

"Well-rounded, balanced and dense, with dark berries, licorice, vanilla and some sweet oak on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with plush tannins. Dense core of sweet berries with a slightly chewy finish.”

An uneventful and easy growing season until mid-October rainstorms. Caramel and golden tones are perfumed with ripe passionfruit, baked lychee and framed by beeswax and toasted vanilla bean. Flavors of warm mango, tangerine marmalade, gingersnap and sumac have a bright energy and blossom with aeration.
