The Stars blend is our homage to the mighty Pacific. Sourcing from vineyards heavily influenced by the ocean, factors such as wind, fog, rain, and clouds tend to produce vines that have struggled a bit, growing in conditions not traditionally associated with optimal farming.  Yet they persevere anyway, and as the morning damp and wet slowly burns off, the sun’s radiance pokes holes through the dark, nourishing and warming the vines.  Life continues forward, forever supported by the sun.

The 2023 is racy, but betrays wonderful layers of both power and poise. Raspberry sorbet, birchwood, and sea smoke are all present on the aromatics.  The palate is on the more elegant side of medium, with checked bright and tart fruit notes.  This wine pushes forward great natural acidly and finishes elegantly with length.
