This is a striking Traditional Method wine that is all about an interplay between a broad texture and vibrant acidity and freshness. Intensely aromatic with notes that display both its fruity and earthy side. Honey and beeswax along with pear and a touch of creme anglaise. Subtle notes of just ripe forest berries, melon rind and prickly pear all ride a wave of tremendous acidity through the exceedingly long finish. The grapes, 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, were pressed using a traditional Champagne cycle and press cut. The wine proceeded through native primary and malolactic fermentation in barrel and wooden tanks. The final blend contains 6.5% reserve wine. No sulfur was used in the èlevage. No dosage.

Michael Cruse might no longer be the new kid on the block but his wines are still the freshest around. The wines of Cruse Wine Co. are crushable homages to modern Californian cuisine and culture. Cruse helped revolutionize the image of what California wines can be and was one of the first proponents of a more balanced and delicate style. In 2016, he was recognized by the SF Chronicle and named Winemaker of the Year. Sadly, since the secret is out, his wines don't stay on the shelves too long. Now is your chance to get your hands on some of the best locally made wines around that push the envelope!

What makes Cruse wines a must for your wine rack is that these are wines made for the type of local and ethnically diverse food We're actually eating, and for the outdoor park-chilling life we will one day get back to. These aren't stodgy extracted Cabs and Chards of yesteryear that demand big hunks of meat or floods of butter and heavy cream. These are light, energetic wines that know how to move with the spice of a Baja fish taco and are down to take a bit of chill for a refreshing glass al fresco.
