Our sparkling wines are sourced from vineyards in Carneros, undergoing a special process that takes about five years from vineyard to consumer. With four styles, Sparkling is the smallest of our collections and can be found in our tasting room, through our web store, as part of our wine club, and by very few select retailers.
Blanc de Blancs
2019 Carneros
$60
Crisp and elegant, our signature sparkler has a lemony mousse and an enticing acid-driven freshness. The 2019 Blanc de Blancs leads with aromas of stone fruit, lime, and just-baked bread that opens on the midpalate to more richness and depth. Sophisticated bubbles converge with hints of ground ginger and lemon rind for a long, clean finish.

“The 2019 Blanc de Blancs Sparkling features scents of apple pie, lemon butter, and lightly browned toast with an undercurrent of salty cashews and pear tart. The palate is bright and breezy with racy acidity and fine bubbles, finishing toasty.”

Sparkling Wine and Fried Chicken
Sparkling wine and fried chicken is an iconic pairing that is perfect to celebrate New Year’s Eve and get your year off to an effervescent start! The recipe is courtesy of French Laundry alumnus, Chef Elliot Bell, chef and owner of Napa Valley’s hottest new restaurant, Charlie’s. Charlie’s fried chicken or CFC requires a beverage that complements the dish’s richness.

Brut Rosé
Beautifully sunset-hued, this Pinot Noir-based sparkler exudes elegance as well as richness. Hints of framboise and rose petals are married with brioche on the nose, meeting a lovely depth of fruit on the lush palate, while fresh strawberries and cream laced with delicate pearl bubbles flow seamlessly through to the finish.
Lady Edythe Reserve Brut
Named in honor of Rich Frank’s mother, Edythe, the Lady Edythe is a late disgorged sparkling wine with 8 years on its lees. Its intensity and concentration derives from its predominately Chardonnay base that provides classic Champenoise minerality as well as elegant citrus fruit flavors. Its acidity has been softened and beautifully integrated by the wine’s maturity, yet it still is remarkably full of life.
