Onward Wines, 2022 Petillant Naturel Sparkling Malvasia Bianca, Capp Inn Ranch, Suisun Valley

This Pét-Nat is floral and fruity, but refreshingly bone-dry. The opening aromatics are like sticking your nose in a fermentation vat, with yeasty brioche notes and lively youthful freshness. To follow are notes of night blooming jasmine, citrus blossom, melon rind, warm Kaffir lime scones with preserved lemon with a refreshing hint of sea air, and did I mention soft tiny delicate bubbles?!

Name of Winery: Onward

Bottle Size: 750ml

Number of Bottles: One

Varietal: Sparkling Malvasia Bianca

Appellation: Suisun Valley 

Onward Wines are single-vineyard, site-driven wines from vineyard sites that 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 has won my heart because it just feels right. When it comes to vineyards this happens too, because of a combination of my connection with the vines themselves and my connection with those that tend them. For me, the grower's hands are most definitely part of the terroir.

My style is about letting the vines speak. They are the art, I am the canvas, and my job is to give them a chance to share their beauty in each and every vintage. My decisions are driven by the vineyard and the vintage, my cellar practices are to uphold the truths I find in the vineyard. To this end, I pick early looking for a balance of flavors at lower ripeness, as I find this is when each vineyard is in its most unique expression of self.

Pott Wines 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 750mL

Plum, cherry, cola, tobacco, violets, porcini mushrooms, smoked duck breast, wet rock, toffee in the nose. The palate showcases plum, toffee, cherry, sage, honey comb, and roast beef in a rich attack, with a layered mid palate of vanilla, nutmeg, cherry, blackberry, and tobacco. The ample tannins are buried deep below layers of flavor that shows freshness and vibrancy. The wood is a background element to the balance of fruit and savory. This wine is singing with life and achieves perfect balance. It finishes with very tight grained tannin with toffee, vanilla, coffee, black cherry, plum and great persistence with dark chocolate lingering and fading in the end.
