Wine Information:
Lambent:
The lambent glow of brilliance begins with just a spark.
As sure as the lambent fire of inquisitiveness glows in Mensans, the bright, berry aromas and radiant flavor pairings of our 2020 Pinot Noir will light up your senses. With the proper complement of cherry, raspberry, and blackberry aromas, cleverly intertwined with unmistakable notes of brown sugar and baking spices, this Pinot Noir exhibits show-stopping fragrance. On the palate, the wine opens with the fresh, alluring presence of strawberry, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins for an elegant finish. A lambent expression of passionate flavor pairings and brilliantly delicate aromas.
We introduce you to Lambent. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.
This Pinot Noir has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
Perspicacious:
Imagination:
Imagination is the marriage of envisioned impossibilities and immovable nonconformity, driven by art, science, or just whimsy. Imagination inspires the journey, propels the search to conceive the inconceivable.
Imagine the possibilities: Each year, the Mensa Foundation Scholarship Program awards more than $175,000 in assistance to college-bound students around the globe. Which longtime Mensa member and Foundation Trustee proposed the idea of the program?
We introduce you to Imagination. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
