Beyond the Clouds is a white wine blend based primarily on chardonnay. The grapes are fermented together in new French oak barrels, and aged for 10 more months.
It’s lush and full, with ripe tropical and stone fruit, juicy pear, and honeysuckle, with notes of toasted nuts and herbal tea. It’s generally priced between $75-$80.
Pine Ridge Vineyards
Chenin Blanc-Viognier is a well-balanced wine that blends Chenin’s high acidity and citrus notes with viognier's more viscous body and floral aromatics.
This $16 wine now comes in a new lightweight bottle that is 20% lighter than the average glass one, allowing the winery to shrink its carbon footprint.
