Get Ready to Chill - Half Case of White Wines, 6 Bottles

Vintone 2016 Sterling Ranch, Mendocino County Chenin Blanc, 2 Bottles: Sterling Ranch is located in an eastern section of the Ukiah Valley, referred to as the Talmage bench. Planted in 1980 on well-drained and gently sloping Pinole soils at an elevation 690 feet.

Farmstrong Field White, 2 Bottles: Farmstrong Field White is a dynamic blend of Chardonnay from Johnson Family Ranch (Fish Friendly Farming) and Chenin Blanc from Sterling Ranch (sustainably farmed on the Talmage Bench) in Mendocino county. Sustainably farmed grapes, together with precise, unmanipulated; thoughtful winemaking. Field White is a great companion to food. With notes of ripe apple, stone fruit, along with tropical fruit accents, the wine's natural acidity is balanced for enjoyment by the glass, yet also works very well to complement a wide variety of food.

Fleury Estate Winery 2019 Rutherford, Napa Sauvignon Blanc, 1 Bottle: Offering a lovely balance between vibrancy and fruit, our Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant straw gold which displays enticing aromas of stone fruit, melon, lemon curd, honeysuckle, and Asian pear. On the palate, generous flavors of melon, tropical fruit, white flowers, lemon curd and orange blossom are supported by a crisp underlying acidity that carries the wine effortlessly to a lingering finish. With a remarkable equilibrium between nose and palate, and beautiful acidity that compliments the fruit seamlessly, this mouth-filling wine shows beautifully well by itself or alongside food.  

Godspeed 2013 Mount Veeder, Napa Chardonnay , 1 Bottle: The vines were planted in 1987 using the "Spring Mountain Clone." These same vines earned Godspeed Wine Enthusiast's "Chardonnay of the Year" award in a previous year. Burgundian in style and featuring our 100% Estate Mountain grown, hand-harvested Chardonnay, the grapes are whole clustered crushed, and barrel fermented (no malolactic and lightly oaked with less that 25% new oak barrels). A crisp refreshing wine with a tropical fruit nose and a citrus back that drinks especially well in warm weather and pairs beautifully with Southwestern and Asian Cuisine. "Rivals Chassagne-Montrachet." "A great food wine and age-worthy Chardonnay." 2013 vintage received a Double Gold Medal at the American Fine Wine Competition 2016.

Vintone aims to craft wines with a purity of expression that tell a unique story of the vineyard site and the season. Winemaker Sean Foster has been crafting wines of exceptional quality for 25 years, wines which he is very proud of. Sean has grown extremely fond of the individuality of a vineyard site in each and every vintage. This has led to the development of his own personal winemaking style, where these qualities are the focus of his wines and shared as Vintone. vintonewines.com 

Godspeed is an artisan grower in the Mount Veeder Appellation of Napa Valley situated at an altitude of 1500 ft. The vineyard is the project of the Larry Stricker family. Larry is an acclaimed architect who has created world class resort hotels, including the Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona; the Marriott Desert Springs Resort and a series of Hawaiian properties including the Halekulani, Kahala Resort, Kapalua Bay Hotel and the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel. At his Mount Veeder estate, he has over time sold his world-class fruit to recognized wineries including Robert Craig, Bremmer, William Hill, Newton & Monticello. Since 1990 he has taken advantage of his exceptional vineyard by bottling half his production under his own label. Three wines are produced at Godspeed: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Trinity. All three are made in a very elegant, almost "European" style, with an emphasis on the vineyard's unique micro-climate, as expressed in the wine's balance and fruit element. https://godspeedvineyards.webs.com/

Farmstrong Wines are dynamic blends that tilt their hat to California's diversity and history. They are expressions the vineyard sites are very special to me. I am a true believer in personal connection and there is a story behind each vineyard site and how it came to be part of my portfolio. In these stories you will learn more about the people behind these vineyards. I liken my connection to these vineyards to that of one’s favorite shirt or coffee mug or chair. Like a well-worn fabric or a slightly chipped mug that may have initially caught my eye for its beauty, but over the years it has won my heart because it just feels right. When it comes to vineyards this happens too, and it is a combination of my connection with the vines themselves and my connection with those that tend them. For me the growers hands are most definitely part of the terroir.

Farmstrong is a cause-driven wine brand, that gives back to support farming practices that benefit the environment. https://farmstrongvineyards.com/
