This Pinot Noir, spearheaded by Noah and Kelly Dorrance of Reeve Wines and in collaboration with a secret cadre of Sonoma winemakers, is sourced from 12 different vineyard sites throughout Sonoma County as well as sites in Marin and Mendocino.  This blending of sites showcases the dynamic potential of Sonoma County wine-making, creating a Pinot Noir with great focus and clarity.

This cuvée is a blend of two different years revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay. Its complexity, its great vinosity and the surprisingly fresh finish is particularly appreciated by the most informed wine lovers. The Blanc de Blancs features 100% Chardonnay from Grands Crus de villages de la Côte des Blancs : Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, & Mesnil-sur-Oge. Notes of warm bread, lemon cream & crisp green apple on the nose. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and very elegant, with a lovely core of fruit, refined mousse and excellent length and grip on the well-balanced, youthful and classy finish.

Very light on the oak, unlike many other Encruzados. More Chablis-like, in fact, with bracing acidity and fresh green apple, pear and lemon flavors. Lovely wine, ande a great introduction to this fine variety.

We always look forward to the new release of the Cep Sauvignon Blanc because we know it will be a clean, dry and super crisp bottle of wine. Indeed this 2020 is all of that with yellow grapefruit aromas on the nose and very bright lemon citrus flavors along with a bit of green apple on the light bodied palate. The wine ends with super bright acidity on a thrilling, lightly chalky and persistent finish.

About the Icons
The estate, owned by the Polizzotti-Scuderi family since the early 1800s, was originally dedicated to the cultivation of wheat and cotton. Around 1920 the first vineyards were planted and the family started to produce wine. From 1960 when Giuseppe Polizzotti took over the management of the estate, the annual harvest had been shared amongst the local wine cooperatives; but in 1995 he decided to stop and produce an estate wine—Fondo Antico was born.

An old estate with a long history, Quinta da Romaneira began producing port in 1872, but was not legally allowed to bottle under its own name until 1986 when DO changes gave single quintas the ability to do so. Romaneira really became of note in 2004, when the new owner, Christian Seely brought on winemaker Antonio Agrellos. The duo (behind the much-celebrated rebirth of Quinta do Noval) took over with plans to bring Romaneira “shoulder to shoulder with the Douro’s top wineries in terms of reputation and quality.” Since then, the vineyards have been overhauled, retaining the best old vines and implementing a replanting program for the rest. In 2005 a new winery was constructed—two-thirds of it underground—allowing for a state-of-the-art production facility and a naturally cool wine cellar.

About the Icons
Rick Forman has been crafting suberb wine in Napa Valley since the mid 1970's, and has been one of the region's most consistent winemakers for decades. Over the course of his career he has stayed true to his vision and convictions, making wines that have structure, precision and elegance. They typically develop very well in the cellar, and reward the patient. We think of Rick as being in the same league as Philip Togni, Cathy Corison, the late Bob Travers, the late Bob Sessions, and a handful of others whose winemaking careers have left or continue to make a significant mark on the industry. Others have bent a knee to the score mongers, or played footsie with the wine press for more notoriety. Not Rick. Not Forman. ~ Peter Granoff, Master Sommelier
