Wine Notes
Vibrant scents of the Sonoma coast waft from the glass in expressions of Meyer lemon crème, white donut peach, and caramelized pineapple mixed with baked Gravenstein apples and butterscotch wrapped in brioche. The palate is rich with mouthfeel and a wet slate foundation that unfolds to ginger, yuzu, and nectarine that finishes with exuberant acidity and intriguing length. 2023 brought a welcome sense of stability during the growing season. The temperatures remained consistent throughout the growing season, which in turn gave us even canopy growth, a near perfect fruit set, and allowed us to pick on the ultimate flavor profile. Mother nature kept the heat at bay coming into harvest which meant the flavors just continued to deepen and develop. The 2023 vintage is truly spectacular - elegant, poised, and stylish.

Map Maker: Summer Dreams, Fortunate Son and Hundred Acre New Releases
The Wine Independent | Lisa Perrotti-Brown
“I’m a direct descendent of Jacques Cartier, the cartographer,” Jayson Woodbridge tells me, seemingly apropos of nothing. But nothing is random or out of context with Jayson. For example, he describes Cartier as a cartographer, not an explorer—the profession by which Cartier is better known. With Jayson, every casually offered piece of shared information is specific and purposeful, whether you get it or not.
