I asked the blending team to sum up 2025. Chelsea said, “It was powerfully structured and chewy, even on varieties you wouldn’t expect.” Austin commented, “They’ve all got liveliness. Nothing feels weighed down by its depth.” And Craig summed it up: “It’s the year of Mourvedre and Roussanne.”

We welcomed Francois and Matthieu Perrin last week for three days spent around our blending table, working to turn the 43 different estate lots we made from our white grapes in 2025 into the blends and varietal bottlings we'll be releasing to you in coming months.
