SONS & DAUGHTERS RANCH – CHALK HILL

The 2022 SBS Blend from Sons & Daughters Ranch in the Chalk Hill sub-appellation is a vibrant expression of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, shaped by volcanic soils and warm days balanced by cooling nights. Fermented in concrete egg with partial aging in neutral French oak, the wine preserves bright acidity while gaining subtle texture and depth. Aromas of citrus, white peach, and fresh herbs lead into layers of ripe tropical fruit and delicate minerality, creating both freshness and complexity. Lively yet structured, this SBS Blend delivers clarity, balance, and a long, refreshing finish.

Why we love this Wine

The 2018 Belle’s Blend brings together the aromatic elegance of Viognier with the vibrant freshness of Grenache Blanc in a beautifully balanced Rhône-inspired blend. Grown at our Sons & Daughters Ranch in the Chalk Hill appellation, this limited-production wine expresses the site’s warm days, mineral-rich soils, and naturally vibrant acidity. Aged exclusively in concrete eggs, Belle’s Blend preserves its pure fruit character while developing remarkable texture and finesse. Floral aromatics, bright citrus, and stone fruit are carried by a crisp, refreshing palate that finishes with remarkable precision. With only 200 cases produced, Belle’s Blend is a rare expression of our estate vineyard and our commitment to showcasing the character of each varietal without the influence of oak.
