TASTING NOTES
The complex nose is perfumed with fresh mission fig, Madagascar vanilla bean, fresh tobacco, blackberry and crushed rose petals. On the palate the wine shows classic Oakville with notes of black cherry, boysenberry and cassis with lingering notes of dark cocoa, cloves and pink peppercorns. The wine has great viscosity and tannin integration. - Maayan Koschitzky, Winemaker

Tasting Notes: Full and sleek, the 2020 Chardonnay starts with a snug grip of tangy acidity reminiscent of lemon peel, stone fruit, and a bit of pear. The mouthfeel is creamy brioche and honeycomb, with a balanced weight and silky texture.
TASTING NOTES
Showing textbook Oakville notes of chocolate, crème de cassis and tobacco leaf, the Block 8 displays seamless integration of powerful (but evolved tannins) and grace, offering full-bodied richness and a gorgeous, nearly opaque color. - Maayan Koschitzky, Winemaker
Tasting Notes: Pale straw in color with white fruits and flowers - honeysuckle, jasmine and pineapple - the JNC Blanc de Blancs is a prime example of Halter Valley Chardonnay from our estate. Upon entry, the flavors are white peach and apple, with a light frame of mellow citrus
Tasting Notes: This wine opens with red and black fruits, new leather and chocolate. Hints of caramel, tobacco leaf and blackberry round out mouthfeel. The palate is power and elegance, with silky ripe tannins and a balanced, lingering finish
