Carte Blanche Pinot Noir | Sun Chase VineyardPer

Carte Blanche Pinot Noir | Sun Chase VineyardPerched above the fog in the Petaluma Gap, just under 40 miles north of San Francisco, our Sun Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir thrives in one of the most dynamic microclimates on the Sonoma Coast. This AVA is defined by a break in the coastal mountains that funnels in cool Pacific winds and morning fog, creating a long, slow growing season. The result? Pinot Noir with intense aromatics, vibrant acidity, and beautifully structured tannins—a true expression of this wind-swept terroir.This Pinot Noir is elegant and aromatic, with layers of red cherry, black plum, rose, and dried thyme on the nose. The palate is silky and refined, offering suede-like tannins and flavors of cherry, plum, and aromatic herbs that linger beautifully.Best served with friends, great conversation, and a table full of good food—because every bottle tells a story worth sharing.#CarteBlancheWines #SonomaCoast #PinotNoir #PetalumaGap #CoastalVines #DrinkBetter #FineWine #BoutiqueWines #VineyardViews #WineLover

Rain, Rest, and Renewal in Napa ValleyThe recent

Rain, Rest, and Renewal in Napa ValleyThe recent downpours in Napa Valley might seem dramatic, but for the vines, it’s just part of nature’s rhythm. During winter, our vineyards enter dormancy—a deep sleep that allows them to conserve energy, build resilience, and prepare for the season ahead.Heavy rains don’t harm the vines; in fact, they replenish the soil, refill our reservoirs, and set the stage for a vibrant growing season. As spring approaches, bud break will signal their awakening, and the cycle begins again.At Carte Blanche, we embrace these natural cycles, knowing that every great vintage starts with a season of rest. Here’s to the rain, the renewal, and the wines yet to come.#CarteBlancheWines #NapaValley #VineyardLife #CabernetSauvignon #NapaCab #RedWineLover #FineWine #WineCollectors #CellarGoals #VintnerLife #WineCountryLiving #BoutiqueWinery #TerroirDriven #RainToWine #NextGreatVintage #vineyards #napavalley #napavalleywine

The Golden Alchemy of Mustard SeasonThe valley r

The Golden Alchemy of Mustard SeasonThe valley rolls out its yellow patchwork, a bright and fleeting spectacle against the bare vines. But this is no idle beauty—it’s work. The mustard digs its roots deep, breaking up the earth, feeding it, readying it for the season ahead. It fixes nitrogen in the soil, keeps erosion at bay, and pushes out weeds without the need for a human hand.At Carte Blanche, we know the best wines start long before the first bud breaks. They begin here, in the quiet months, when the land does what it was born to do. When the mustard fades and the vines awaken, they’ll carry this golden legacy forward, one deep root at a time.#CarteBlancheWines #MustardSeason #TheLandKnows #NapaValley #CarteBlancheWines #MustardSeason #TheLandKnows #NapaValley #VineyardLife #SustainableFarming #WineCountry #NapaWine #VineyardViews #Winemaking #CoverCrops #DrinkBetter #TerroirDriven #EstateGrown #MustardBloom #NapaValleyWine #WineLover #GoldenVines #VineyardBeauty #NatureAtWork

Pruning is where the next vintage begins. Each of

Pruning is where the next vintage begins. Each of the vines is done by hand, with a careful watch over where each cut is made. Each winter, we cut back last season’s growth, selecting the strongest canes to guide sap flow and balance fruit production. Precision and detail matters—too much vigor leads to unruly vines, too little weakens the crop. Proper spacing improves airflow, reducing disease risk while directing energy into fewer, more concentrated clusters. Every cut shapes the vine’s future, setting the stage for quality, structure, and balance in every glass.#CarteBlancheWine#NapaValley #NapaWine #VineyardLife #Winemaking #WineCountry #NapaWineries #VineyardViews #HarvestSeason #FineWine #EstateGrown #LuxuryWine #BoutiqueWinery #NapaValleyWine #WineLover #VineyardManagement
