In Vino Veritas, Dirk

Piper Sonoma Blanc de Blancs Brut, Sonoma County, CA – This blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Blanc is a beautiful pale straw color in the glass with tiny bubbles. You are greeted with aromas of green apple, citrus, and white flowers. The palate is crisp and dry with a long, mouthwatering finish. $22.00

2024 Lussier Wine Co. Old Vine Chenin Blanc, Green Valley Vineyard, Solano County, CA – The winemaker enjoys working with the fruit. He has decided to incorporate whole-cluster fermentation and aging in a small number of used and new French barrels. The outcome is a multi-layered composition of fresh herbs, citrus skins, white flowers, and saline goodness on the nose. The flavors on the palate are elegant and rich: Meyer lemon, White nectarine, grilled orange slices, cilantro, and a sumptuous long finish. Wine Enthusiast: 95 $32.00

2023 Lussier Wine Co. Pinot Noir “Côte de Boont” Anderson Valley, CA – Côte de Boont is a unique expression of a blend of multiple high-elevation (900-2642 ft) vineyards within the Anderson Valley. The nose is lively and succulent, with aromas of cherry confiture, Amaro, amber, dried rose petals, and dried green herbs. The palate highlights the spectrum of red fruits: plum, Rainer cherry, liquor-soaked cherry, clove-studded citrus, and lip-smacking tannins on the finish. Wine Enthusiast: 94 $45.00

2021 Mathis Grenache, Sonoma Valley, CA – This well-concentrated wine made with native yeast and aged in neutral barrels offers buoyant strawberry and red-plum flavors backed by light tannins and a good, smoky, black-peppery undertone. It is complex, full-bodied, and ready to enjoy by 2030. Wine Enthusiast: 92 $42.00
