Winemaker Notes
Palate: On the palate, flavors of green apple, grapefruit and kiwi are complemented by subtle hints of lychee. A bright crisp wine with a clean lingering finish.
Food pairings: Scallop ceviche; salad with grapefruit, orange and avocado; halibut with lemon beurre blanc.
"A great food wine. Bone dry and very crisp. This has deep, appealing flavors of citrus fruits, figs and white peppery spices. Would go great with savory dishes like roast chicken and mushroom tarts."

DeLoach Vineyards has been a pioneering producer of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley since 1975. DeLoach seeks to produce exceptional wines that spotlight the singular personality of the Russian River Valley, with its rare and bountiful convergence of the sea, the soil and the stars. The Boisset family of Burgundy has stewarded winegrowing and winemaking at DeLoach since 2003, bringing the techniques and approaches of Burgundy to winemaking in the Russian River Valley, which they believed to be California’s most expressive terroir for cultivating Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Under Boisset, DeLoach has grown its small-lot vineyard designate wine program, become a certified organic and Biodynamic estate vineyard, and implemented traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques such as open-top wood fermentors, native yeast fermentations, and hand punch-downs. Wine & Spirits magazine has named DeLoach Vineyards a Top 100 Winery twelve times.
