2022 marsanneThe first ever release of a single varietal designate Marsanne was back in 2018. As a newly planted block in the Estate Vineyard, it took only 3 harvests for the Marsanne varietal to start to shine. Early tasting by our winemaking team quickly showcased how extraordinary the varietal could be as a standalone wine. As with all Clos LaChance Designate and Reserve wines, the single varietal Marsanne will only be released when the quality meets the high standards required; 2022 was one of those years. Blend: 100% Marsanne |
2020 petit verdotThe Clos LaChance Petit Verdot, is true to its historical nature, being a dry red wine that is one of the Bordeaux varietals we have here at our Estate. Its heavyweight, full-bodied structure and unique floral aromatic characteristics mixed with hints of sage, dried herbs, and berries, makes it a go to wine for those looking to pair a red wine with a hearty holiday meal or backyard BBQ. Blend: 100% Petit Verdot |
2019 whitestone cabernet sauvignonCabernet is the largest volume of acreage for a single varietal on our Estate, and the Whitestone Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a select portion within the Estate. The Whitestone block of our Estate Vineyard offers a completely different soil profile from the rest of the vineyard blocks. The shallow rocky soil gives us a much more complex berry with thicker skins and a smaller berry size. We stay true to the style that the terroir on our Estate gives us and create an approachable and elegant style of Cab that is crafted for your everyday indulgence Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon |
2020 proprietary red blendThe 2020 Clos LaChance Proprietary Red Blend is a Rhone Style blend utilizing the highest quality Rhone Varietals from the Estate Vineyards in the Santa Clara Valley. This wine is hand crafted with hours of time spent at the blending table perfecting the right balance of fruit with acid and complexity. This blend is a true labor of love for Winemaker, Jason Robideaux, as it allows him to showcase the fruit and terroir that truly shines in the Santa Clara Valley. Blend: 42% Grenache, 25% Carignane, 16% Petite Sirah, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Alicante Bouschet |
2020 syrahThe Clos LaChance Reserve Syrah, like all other Reserve wines, only finds itself in the Reserve lineup on years where the varietal excels and exceeds quality expectations. Its dense palate structure and unique aromatic characteristics makes it a go to wine for those who are looking for something in between a light Pinot Noir and a dry Cabernet Sauvignon. As a standalone varietal the wine is often jammy with great blue berry and fruity notes, accompanied by rich tannins and a long finish. Blend: 100% Syrah |
2021 hadley's cuveeHadley’s Cuvée is a vibrant White Wine Blend named after Winemaker Jason Robideaux’s daughter. The wine and blend is as bold and full of life as its namesake and was first created in 2012 the year she was born. The idea of Hadley’s Cuvée is to create a unique blend often not found in the industry and bring together bold and complex characteristics to delight and engage the palate. Blend: 39% Sauv Blanc, 32% Marsanne, 20% Viognier, 9% Semillon |
