Description
This two-bottle set brings together the crisp vitality of New Zealand’s Marlborough region and the refined coastal charm of California’s Sonoma Coast. Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc bursts with snow pea, passionfruit, and tropical lift, finishing with a mineral snap. Crossbarn’s Chardonnay offers orchard fruit, floral perfume, and a creamy, sea-salt-kissed texture. Together, they’re a study in coastal purity—vibrant, expressive, and endlessly refreshing.
Medium lemon yellow in color, the Yealands Estate Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc offers abundant flavors of snow pea, passionfruit, and blackcurrant leaf, with undertones of ripe tropical notes. The palate is generous and textured, with a distinctive mineral finish.
The Sonoma Coast Chardonnay opens with lifted aromas of freshly picked green apple, and is fragrantly perfumed with Meyer lemon zest, gardenia, honeysuckle, and orange blossom. On the palate, notes of Honeycrisp apple lead a well-focused palate punctuated by a burst of fresh guava. Mineral-driven, vibrant acidity accented with a flaky sea salt-like crunchiness is interlaced with a delicate creamy yet firmly structured texture. The finish is pure and clean with good tension and energy through the lingering, expressively juicy finish
Due to the popularity of this gift, wines or vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with wines of equal or greater value.
