The 2016 Le Bon Pasteur was tasted at the Union de Grand Cru

then comes the wonderfully invigorating freshness at the filigree finish

A tribute to Silver Oak co-founder Ray Duncan

Drink the 2020s while waiting for the 2019s

the vines showed fewer bunches due to the lack of water

in order to produce a small amount of high quality wines with respect for terroir and tradition

a Chardonnay that is all about balance

with a rich black fruit character that's spicy on the nose and sweet on the palate

Bertrand Nicolas

Moderate spring weather provided near-ideal conditions for bloom

and with the perfumes from the Cabernet Franc

More time is allowed to ferment and mature in order to produce a wine of character
