Charles Le Bel Champagne Brut Inspiration 1818

50% Sauvignon Blanc from Ryan’s vineyard, 50% Semillon from ancient unirrigated, bushvines at Kendall Hoxsey’s Yount Mill Vineyard in Yountville. Vineyards both farmed organically and wine produced by Steve Matthiasson. 100% barrel fermented sur lie for one year, 15% new oak. The second vintage of the white from the remarkable Ashes x Diamonds winery that pays homage to the great wines and winemakers that put Napa on the map back in the 60’s. 92 points Wine Enthusiast - "A crisp, focused and barrel-fermented co-mingling of the two white grapes, made by Steve Matthiasson, this wine offers a taste of wet stone, kiwi and apple skin. It shows lively acidity throughout and a sleek tension on the palate, complex and intriguing."

Ashes & Diamonds' Cabernet Franc is a naturally restrained, balanced wine with subtle power and aromatic finesse that comes from the volcanic, clay and sandy loam soils of select vineyards in Napa Valley’s cooler south side (Los Carneros, Oak Knoll District and Yountville).

Red Hen’s Cabernets have a quiet power, poise and impressive length with silky, weightless tannins that are the hallmark of this benchland site. 94 points Wine & Spirits - "Diana Snowden Seysses makes this wine from a vineyard in the benchlands of the Mayacamas, where the gravelly loam soil retains enough moisture that the vines rarely need to be irrigated. In 2017, the Red Hen Vineyard was owned by the Araujos and farmed by Steve Matthiasson, both of whom were working toward organic certification (now it is owned by Phelps). The quiet grace of this wine makes a strong case for a prime site that warrants careful farming. The voice of the site comes through in woodland scents of purple flowers, cool herbs and a vibrant intensity without weight. It’s ripe rather than fruity, powered by earthy tension, with longevity to its flavors that leaves a lovely, delicious memory after each sip."
