    “95 points, Wine Advocate Named after Paul’s youngest daughter, Cuvee Louisa is diligently sourced from a designated Chardonnay block at our Goldrock Estate, one of the most sought after sites in western Sonoma Coast. This wine is barrel selected to display the site with distinct minerality, alluring stone fruits, and a bright, clean texture. The 2019 Chardonnay Cuvée Louisa Goldrock Estate is shy to begin, opening slowly to warm white peaches and jasmine accented by touches of crushed shell and hazelnut. The light-bodied palate is super fresh, intensely fruited and pure, with loads of mineral undertones and a long, layered finish. It’s shaping up to be a beauty!

    Producer Profile

    An intense Sonoma Coast pinot, filled with notes of graphite and minerally slate, informing a subdued core of plum and blackberry. This pinot threads the needle just about perfectly, never becoming overly fruit-heavy — or really even fruit-focused at all — and avoiding the common, modern trap of falling into a beefy, umami-heavy funk. Ample acidity keeps the wine perked up and alive, touched just so with raspberry and cherry as it develops in glass. Best at cellar temperature but incredibly versatile — I enjoyed it greatly as an aperitif and just as much with a hearty Caribbean pork shoulder.
