• 2021 La Follette Sun Chase Pinot Noir

  Sonoma Coast

  Expand
  An immediately dramatic site atop the western face of Sonoma Mountain, Sun Chase vineyard yields a compelling and distinctive wine, embracing both its mountain location and the cooling effects of the Petaluma Wind Gap. Two clones are married here, Dijon 114 and Dijon 777. The 114 always ripens first, lending vibrancy and amazing red fruit aromatics. The 777 is darker and more brooding, nicely complementing the 114 in both fleshing out the mid-palate and extending the finish. This wine has concentration without being heavy and the structure to improve over several more years of aging.

• 2021 La Follette Heintz Vineyard Pinot Noir

  Russian River Valley

  Expand
  From a vineyard just outside the West Sonoma County town of Occidental, and considered a Grand Cru for Chardonnay, comes this unique wine crafted from Swan selection cuttings planted back in 2000. Located in an isolated block in the coldest part of the estate, and on the locally favored Goldridge soil type, this wine exhibits bright cherry fruit alongside savory notes of baking spice and forest floor. Ample natural acidity keeps things refreshing and ensures age-worthiness. LaFollette is the sole recipient of this Swan selection block from Heintz Ranch. Farmed by 3rd generation grower Charlie Heintz and family.

  Sonoma Coast

  The wine is a very pretty light straw color with aromas of fresh pear, peaches and meyer lemon. These are tied together with subtle green herbs of chervil and arugula. Before the first sip it reminds of a light fresh springtime salad. On the palate the fruit flavors explode! Tangerine, Pear skin, canned peaches all mixed in with a limestone minerality. Secondary notes of white flowers, honeysuckle and just a touch of vanilla from the French oak at the end of the exceptionally long finish.

• 2021 La Follette Zephyr Farms Chardonnay

  Russian River Valley

  Day bright with a beautiful pale yellow color. The nose is full of Pippin Apple, Asian Pear, white rose and baking spices. These are all confirmed on the palate with medium acid and a touch of bitter apple skin, lime and grilled lemon on a lengthy, refreshing finish. The wine is both rich and bright at the same time. There is just a whisp of oak and a pleasant river rock minerality that brings you back for more.
