The 2019 vintage is barrel fermented and tirage bottled. It has been aged in bottle 24 months on lees, and at least 6 months post disgorging. The dosage is a minimal 2 g/L.

The wine is a medium salmon, with a soft gentle mousse. The nose is cherry pie and berries mingled with pastry cream and wet rocks. The palate has a deep, red fruit character and weight, finishing with briny acidity.

This wine is from the 2019 base vintage with 30% perpetual cuvée added. The blend is nearly 73% Chardonnay and 27% Pinot noir. The primary vineyards are Keefer Ranch, Alder Springs, Linda Vista, and Rorick Vineyard. The grapes were pressed using a traditional Champagne cycle and press cut. The wine proceeded through a native primary and malolactic fermentation in barrel, wooden tanks, and about 20% stainless steel fermentation. No sulfur was used in the élevage.
