Jack and Jamie Davies revived the historic vineyards and cellars in 1965. Today, their son Hugh, continues their mission. Coming off their highly successful recent vintages, the 2016 is also 100% Chardonnay straw with aromas of floral stone fruits and citrus notes. A terrific crisp sparkler with crisp apple, peach and lemon flavors, fine mousse with tiny bubbles. Tangy acidity on a lingering finish ending with a yeasty creamy character. Nice!

Beautiful pale yellow, with intense bubble flow. Pineapple, tropical notes, acidic with dry quick finish.

Might show better in a year or two. Toasty balanced with citrus notes.

2001. We bought a few cases way back when to celebrate our 2003 release, discovered a few bottles in the library, has aged beautifully, can't forget about the delicious sparkling in our own backyard.

Anniversary lunch at Terry’s in Carmel. This Blanc de Blanc was delicious with small bubbles, low alcohol, dry yeasty tastes and flavors of lemon and pair.

Very reliably good Northern California sparkling. Paired with caviar in Sausalito.
