Each year we honor our founding winemaker, Angela Witmore with a special blend to highlight the vintage. We have only one rule: the blend must be 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. From there, it’s carte blanche for the winemaking team to select the very best vineyard lots that promise a balance between elegance, power, and age-ability. Usually fewer than 10 lots will make the cut.

Chardonnay pairs well with a wide variety of foods; the brightness of the 2011 vintage calls for something rich. Lobster risotto or a simple fettucine alfredo would be excellent choices.
