Cruse Wine Co. Carneros Petillant Naturel Saint Laurent Ricci Vineyard 2022

$3599

Michael's Pet-Nat is made entirely from St. Laurent. How often do you see St. Laurent from California? How often do you see St. Laurent at all?

Well, Michael uses his rare grapes for this rare pink bottle of sparkling joy. It's easy to drink but hard to make: from the hand-harvesting, to the native yeast fermentation (which finishes in the bottle to make those bubbles), right through aging and disgorging, this is a labor of love. And we're so grateful for that labor (and all the love), which gives us this unique expression of the Sonoma terroir (cool climate acidity, fine bubbles, and clay-loam weight) in a snappy and vivid Pet Nat. At 11% ABV, it’s the perfect aperitif for summer nights (or brunch... or Tuesday).

More about Cruse Wine Co.

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.
