What we know now, after ten years of blending blin d, is that the way we see and experience the wines barrel by barrel is profoundly untypical. What at once seems confusingly disparate, slips into new combinations and is reflected back clearly only after hours and hours at the blending table.There was an a stonishing synthesis in certain chardonnay barrels in 2017 that called for its own bottling altogether. Aequorin and Obelin are the two photo proteins responsible for bioluminescence, the ability of a living thing to create its own light. The bioluminescen t are defined by light, speak in a language of light. This wine revealed itself to us through the obscurity of a blind tasting and seemed to demand a name that reflected the same. While not a permanent member of the family, this name will be reserved whene ver a wine, like this singular chardonnay, demands our attention with its luminosity.

Beautiful rose with a darker pink hue. Nose of cherry, strawberry, earth and hints of oak spice.Well balanced, refreshing and tasty! The cherry, strawberry and earthy elements meld together nicely. Medium to light acid, balanced alcohol and very food friendly.

It has an air of restraint from the first impression of crushed roses and violets with some sappy, fresh and attractive leaves and succulent plant notes and plenty of finely fragrant spices, cocoa, blueberry and dried dark cherry.

Fresh summer fruit of strawberries, raspberries and red cherries tend to be the identifying qualities, however richer versions express darker fruit including black cherries (kirsch), cherry cola, leather and violets to name a few.

Quite ripe smelling with rich cherry fruit and a lot of density. The fresh palate is very mouth watering, with lots of strawberry and cherry fruit. It's rich but not at all heavy and is very balanced due to the proper structure and fine but clearly present tannin. Long, impressive finish

Medium red ourplish color. The dark fruit, sublime orange zest, minerals, red currant, wet granite, fresh herbs and subtle raspberry all merges into a lovely and astonishing nose.
