With roots deep in the Napa Valley and award-winning wines known for beautiful balance, finesse and power, Raymond Vineyards was the perfect match.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

This 2017 Brut Blanc de Blancs is bright and fresh - opening with citrus and white flower aromas. 

Palate: 

Notes of guava and crème brulée open on the palate, accented by toasted almonds and brioche. This beautifully balanced wine has a long finish with essence of clementine.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The Chardonnay comprising the 2017 Sparkling Brut Blanc de Blancs comes from a single vineyard in south Napa. Winds flow through, bringing a cooling influence from the nearby Pacific Ocean and provide a long, cool growing season, highlighting the grape’s natural acidity. The sparkling is aged on the lees for 16 months.
