Current Release

2023 Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay

$42.00

Description

Description

Our 2023 Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay presents a radiant pale gold color with hints of green at the rim. The nose is expressive, offering a harmonious blend of ripe green apple, Meyer lemon, and juicy pear, complemented by toasted almond and a touch of wet stone minerality. Subtle hints of white peach and honeysuckle emerge, with a gentle touch of vanilla and baking spice from aging in French oak barrels (10% new). On the palate, the wine is vibrant, with a rich, round texture balanced by crisp acidity. Flavors of citrus curd, ripe apricot, and golden apple unfold, accented by a saline minerality and a hint of butterscotch. 225 cases made.

About The Labels

We named our Chardonnay “Xiang Si” 相思, which means to think about the ones you care for and love. We wanted to dedicate this wine to our families and friends who have been guiding and supporting us along this challenging yet exciting journey.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The 2022 Chardonnay reminds me a little of the 2020. It's a bit on the ripe and showy side, more voluptuous than the 2021. Although the alcohol is higher than in 2021, it carries it nicely. The flavors tend to the more golden end of the spectrum, befitting the warm late season. Hints of toasty oak and beeswax (this seems to be a hallmark of the Shunyi style of Chardonnay) add a bit of class to the wine. My guess is that it will be an early maturing vintage, especially enjoyable in its youth.

Description

Description

Our 2023 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir displays a vibrant ruby hue with delicate garnet edges. On the nose, it opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe red cherries and wild raspberries. Floral notes of violets and a touch of vanilla bean from French oak aging add complexity. On the palate, the wine is silky and well-balanced, offering bright, juicy flavors of cranberry, pomegranate, and muddled plum, framed by soft, polished tannins and lively acidity. Earthy undertones of forest floor and anise emerge mid-palate, leading to a long, refreshing finish with lingering notes of baking spice and red fruit. 150 cases made.

About The Labels

Our Pinot Noir is named “Chong Feng” 重逢, to reunite. Reuniting with old friends and family is one of life’s joyous moments that we treasure dearly. We crafted this wine to celebrate the unity that bonded all of us together.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
On the nose, the wine displays a load of pretty red fruits with hints of dried rose petals and savory pastries. The medium-level acidity and subtle tannins produce a well-balanced and energetic mouthfeel. The finish is smooth and long with notes of toasty baking spice and cookie crumbles.

2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

$95.00

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet balanced, with a core of dense black fruit framed by fine-grained tannins. The mid-palate carries savory tones of sage and dried herbs.

Description

Description

The 2022 vintage showcases the classic generosity of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, while revealing the structure and concentration shaped by a warm, compact growing season. In the glass, the wine is an opaque garnet with a youthful purple rim. Aromatics are lifted and precise, offering blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and cassis layered with graphite, crushed violets, cedar, and a subtle note of warm baking spice from well-integrated oak. A hint of tobacco leaf and pencil shavings adds a distinctly Bordeaux-style nuance to the profile.

About The Labels

We named this wine “攀登” (Pan Deng), which means climbing. Winemaking is a physically demanding job that is not as glamorous as many might think. Like mountain climbers, perseverance and resilience are the core characters of a winemaker. We want to dedicate this wine to all the hard-working men and women out there who are fearlessly pursuing their goals and dreams every day.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The flavor profile tends towards black cherry and graphite, with fine, firm tannins. It is somewhat “old school” in the aromas and flavors, with no cooked fruit flavors or heavy oakiness. While it is definitely “bigger” and more powerful than the debut 2020 Pan Deng, it shares a certain sleekness, purity, and subtlety with that wine. It spent 16 months in a combination of new and older French oak cooperage, about 40% of which was new.

2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

$58.00

With Red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry at the core, accented by dried rose petal, subtle clove, and a mineral edge characteristic of the region’s Goldridge soils. The palate is finely structured, with polished tannins framing a vibrant mid-palate of red fruit and savory undertones.

Description

Description

The 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is the first release of this new wine. We always wanted to make a Pinot Noir from the Sonoma County region, and we were very fortunate to stumble upon this beautiful vineyard called “Twin Hills”, which is located in the Green Valley district of the Russian River Valley AVA. The Green Valley area is the cooler part of the RRV AVA. The Pinot Noir from this region is typically very elegant with bright fruit characters and vibrant acidity.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The Shunyi Santa Rita Pinot Noir has the characteristic Santa Rita Hills structure and power. Aromatically, it leans towards spice and away from fruitiness, with notes of bergamot, green tea, and forest floor. It is elegantly structured on the palate—one would not call it “soft and fruity.” It is a good food wine and would go with all sorts of earthy flavors like mushrooms, game, and roasted meats. Decanting 30 minutes before serving will help it open up.
