This wine departs from what often defines Chardonnay in California. While most California Chardonnay is weighty and oaked, the Chardonnay at Coterie is inspired more by the typicity of Chablis and Oregon. Highlands Ranch is farmed by Kirk Williams, with whom we've produced Pinot Noir (and Syrah, at times) for many years. In 2024, we made a miniscule quantity, which we pulled from the base wine that we produced for our sparkling Crémant. We picked earlier in maturity with natural acidity well intact, and aged the wine entirely in stainless steel. It has a youthful straw color with beautiful notes of green apple, fresh flowers, and light brioche.

Roussanne is a challenge to grow and difficult to vinify. At the winery we say Roussanne has everything going against it, except that it tastes really good. It is also beautiful with age. Our friends at Tablas Creek turned us on to the lovely Roussanne at the nearby Glenrose Vineyard within the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. This area is a bit cooler than the rest of Paso Robles, but still the warmest from which we produce. The 2023 vintage spent its entire fermentation and élevage in stainless steel to balance the richness of this wine with some brilliance. It features delicate notes of stone fruit, vanilla cream, and marzipan, layered with traces of herbal tea and citrus zest.

While we often include some whole clusters in the Pinot Noir that we produce from this vineyard, this is only the third time that we have created this wine, which is focused around 100% Pommard 4 cuttings with 50% whole clusters. The Pinot Noir at Kirk Williams Ranch is always deeply flavorful with rich fruit, complex earthiness, and alluring spice, but the 2023 harvest gave us especially developed fruit during a very cool growing season and unusually long hang times at harvest. This produced some extraordinary barrels of Pommard 4, yielding a wine that is sumptuous yet balanced, with rich notes of mixed berries, plum, baking spice, rose hips, and tea leaf.

The Pinot Noir at Kirk Williams Ranch is deeply flavorful with rich fruit, complex earthiness, and alluring spice. Kirk Williams Ranch is adjacent to the famed Garys' Vineyard (the land of which Kirk also owns) and just south of the renowned Rosella's Vineyard. Under Kirk's care and guidance, this vineyard has established its own outstanding reputation. We make this Pinot Noir from Pommard 4, 667, and 777 cuttings. The 2019 vintage was fermented with 18% whole clusters. It is an elegant, more delicate rendition than usual, with notes of Brooks cherry, bramble, and violets, complemented by a earthy, ageworthy layer of sweet pipe tobacco.

Most Syrah in California is planted in vineyards that grow other varietals as well. At Las Madres Vineyard, growers John Painter and Jean Gadiot had a different idea: they planted a vineyard dedicated entirely to Syrah, except for a few interspersed Viognier vines. This is cool-climate Syrah, with many dimensions beyond just dark, rich fruit. We usually co-ferment a small amount of the Viognier in the style of Côte Rôtie. We make this wine from 174 and 300 cuttings. An extended, exceptionally cool growing season at this vineyard in 2023 created a wine with great depth of flavor featuring blue fruits, floral elements, hints of anise, and a savory meatiness.
