2016 Broc Cellars Sparkling Chenin Blanc. Lodi.
Young wine, but went very well with seared Ahi. Some lovely yeasty notes, a hint-just a hint-of residual sugar. Nice citrus/pear fruit. Lovely wine.
2015 Broc Cellars Chardonnay. Napa Valley from just north of Napa City. His most expensive wine, this is definitely a plush and lovely Chardonnay. All about the lemon. Definitely some oak notes, more than I might normally like, but there is a bracing "grapefruit" acidity on the finish that adds complexity and balance to what is a lovely expression of California Chardonnay!
Love Chris' wines almost universally. Definitely a natural winemaker in the IPOB school, but he sources some lovely fruit to his little Berkeley industrial cellar.
