This vintage continues as previously with Chenin being dominant in the blend. Almost entirely barrel fermented, but with a touch of an "egg" fermented component adding body. We handled it as carefully and as naturally as possible, giving the wine only a light fining and bottling with minimal filtration. This is our eighth vintage of this wine, and it is interesting to see the consistency of the vineyard. Stylistically, we have always been looking for a balance between the richness and perfume of the Roussanne and Viognier. With the fruit and freshness of the Chenin and Verdelho.

The 2019 The Field Blend was crafted from 42% Chenin Blanc, 30% Roussanne, 17% Verdelho and 11% Viognier. A beautiful and elegant wine, this wine beams with floral expressions; aromas of honeysuckle, white rose and acacia flutter out of the glass with fruit flavors of bright citrus, yellow apple, white peach, pineapple and wax melon. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is elegant with a soft waxiness and pleasing texture to the mid-palate. It offers a sweetness of fruit with an impressive soft minerality that lingers in the mouth. The wine concludes with a thoughtfully long-lingering finish and a kiss of phenolic bitterness that makes this wine more complex and food friendly. This 14,400-bottle production comes recommended. Bravo!

Pineapple and pink grapefruit granita notes are expressive and zesty in lip-smacking, light-bodied white. Hints of chive blossom and ground white pepper play on the lively finish. Chenin Blanc, Roussanne, Verdelho and Viognier. Drink now. 200 cases imported.
