Napa & Sonoma Showcase

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?  

Colète Napa Valley White  

This unique Napa white is the result of a collaboration between famed sommelier Raj Parr and Bordeaux-native Marie Vayron Ponsonnet. An organically farmed blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, it boasts delicious depth and character.  

Smith-Madrone Chardonnay, Napa Valley  

Founded by the Smith brothers in 1971, Smith-Madrone crafts a standout Chardonnay, weaving bright apple and citrus notes with whispers of French oak. Nestled high in Napa’s Spring Mountain AVA, their wines radiate the passion and authenticity of old-school winemaking. 

Alma Fria Plural Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 

This bright Chardonnay from Alma Fria captures the spirit of the newly recognised West Sonoma Coast AVA. Handcrafted by Carroll Kemp, it combines bright lemon, almond, and sea salt flavours, capturing the essence of its rugged coastal heritage. 

Long Meadow Ranch Farmstead Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley   

A vibrant Napa gem. Born from organic, sustainable farming, this fantastic Cabernet blends rich notes of red berries, black cherry, and a touch of vanilla. Crafted by Lisanne Leask, whose expertise spans Napa to Italy, this wine is a contemporary toast to Napa's heritage. It's set to age gracefully.  

Jolie-Laide North Coast Syrah  

Jolie-Laide's North Coast Syrah, crafted by the dynamic duo Scott and Jenny Schultz, packs a Rhone-inspired punch. It's bold yet refined, revealing dark berries, violets, and spicy undertones with velvety tannins. The name 'Jolie-Laide', or 'Pretty-Ugly' in French, speaks to the allure of imperfections. Building on this ethos and their continued success, the duo has recently established a new winery in Santa Rosa, marking an exciting chapter in their winemaking story. 

Kutch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir   

Jamie Kutch’s dedication to the Sonoma Coast shines in this Pinot Noir, displaying dark red fruit, tobacco, and spice. Grown on varied Sonoma terrains from clay to sandy soils, it captures the raw beauty of the region. As one of our first Californian imports, Kutch’s continuous drive for excellence and innovation, evidenced by award after award, promises even more exceptional wines on the horizon. 

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE NAPA & SONOMA?  

Nestled just north of San Francisco, Napa and Sonoma together encapsulate the spirit of California's wine country. Sonoma, with its mosaic of rugged coastlines, redwoods, and historic vineyards, offers a taste of California's diverse landscapes and wines from its 19 unique AVAs. Meanwhile, Napa, compact yet globally recognised, boasts a viticultural legacy cemented at the 1976 Judgment of Paris. Both regions, as integral parts of California's North Coast, showcase the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation that defines West Coast winemaking.
