Vintage Wine Name Chorus Cuvée Blanc 2020 Vintage 2020 Wine Description The blended white wines of Friuli inspired us to create this incredibly complex and aromatic cuvée blanc. Much like a Chorus, the blend of grapes — while each one special on its own — work together in perfect harmony to create a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts. Let this wine connect you to Italy by way of Napa Valley - no passport required. Region Napa Appellation Napa Valley Varietal Composition 67% Chardonnay, 24% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Fernao Pires, 3% Malvasia Bianca Tasting notes An aromatic blend of white varieties with bright floral notes, beautiful spiced and white tea characteristics, and a noticeable texture from the skin contact to make it captivating and complex. A glass or two has been known to spark wanderlust. Pairing notes Fish & chips.

Feature Bullet 5 Named 2021 Winery of the Year in the Vinepair Next Wave Awards Winery Brendel Winery Description "At a time when the wine industry is grappling with attracting younger consumers — mainly Millennials — Brendel is leading the way." - Jess Lander, the San Francisco Chronicle Brendel likes to say that they have a secret ingredient: dirt. Their range of wines are made from some of the best sites in California’s most renowned regions, including the eastern side of Rutherford, the highest elevations of Howell Mountain, two diverse sites in St. Helena, a steep plot in Oak Knoll, and select sites in the Sonoma Coast. Each vineyard is chosen for its quality and unique aptitude, with soil types ranging from volcanic to clay to bring out the best in each grape in their array of wines. It’s, as they put it, good dirt. All Brendel wines are made by Heitz Cellar Director of Winemaking, Brittany Sherwood, guaranteeing high-quality wines that are made with a unique philosophy but the same Heitz integrity. Handcrafted for daily consumption and enjoyment, the wines never touch a new oak barrel, and are intended to be vibrant, fresh and pure.
