(Wines and vintages served may vary based on availability)
2023 Perchance Sauvignon Blanc Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard
In the glass, this exquisite Sauvignon Blanc shimmers with a light straw color, accentuated by a subtle green tinge as a nod to its natural acidity from the meticulously maintained old vines. Upon swirling, the wine exudes captivating aromas of zesty lemon custard, vibrant key lime, delicate white blossoms, and freshly baked brioche. The luxurious mouthfeel offers a full-bodied experience that gracefully transitions into a lingering finish punctuated by notes of tropical citrus and luscious ripe stone fruits. Aged in the finest French oak Burgundy barrels, which add both depth and complexity, the wine showcases a youthful acidity leading to layers of ripe nectarine, golden honey, mature pineapple, and succulent melon. Throughout the mid-palate, the impeccably ripened fruit shines with exceptional richness and a velvety texture, culminating in a flawlessly balanced finish that embodies the essence of a classic Bordeaux Blanc. While delightful to enjoy now, its aging potential is remarkable - allowing for further exploration of hidden nuances and complexities over the next 10-15 years in optimal conditions.
2023 Chardonnay Beckstoffer Carneros Lake Vineyard
The 2023 vintage of Perchance Estates' Chardonnay is a testament to the artistry of acclaimed winemaker Mike Smith, showcasing the pinnacle of craftsmanship. This exceptional wine is produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from the prestigious Beckstoffer Carneros Lake Vineyard. Celebrated for its distinctive terroir, this vineyard enriches the fruit with a character that truly reflects its origin. In the glass, the wine presents a stunning golden hue that glimmers invitingly. The bouquet unfolds with enticing aromas of sun-ripened apples, juicy pears, and zesty lemons, all harmoniously complemented by subtle hints of white peach and honey that enhance its richness and complexity.
On the palate, the 2023 Chardonnay captivates with its perfect balance and elegance. Lively flavors of green apple intertwine with luscious notes of pineapple, delivering an exhilarating tasting experience. An elegant aging process of 14-months in new Burgundian barrels adds depth, infusing the wine with layers of toasted oak, vanilla, and delicate spices that elevate its profile. The finish is refreshingly long, leaving a memorable impression with each sip. While enjoyable in its youth, the 2023 Perchance Estates Chardonnay possesses the potential to age beautifully, evolving over the next 10-15 years or more. As it matures, wine enthusiasts will discover intricate layers of flavor and nuance, revealing a complex tapestry that enriches their tasting journey.
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon
The 2022 Perchance Estates Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from two incredible blocks in the Oakville appellation, both planted in 1996. The harmonious coalescence of these offerings produces a wine that exemplifies why To Kalon is the gold standard for Cabernet Sauvignon—not only in Napa Valley, but in the world. This wine checks all the boxes, showcasing abundant fruit, a hint of forest floor, a whisper of graphite and solid but fine tannins.
In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet hue, captivating the senses with aromas of dark plum, ripe raspberry, cassis, and blueberry preserves. This alluring bouquet is subtly enhanced by an earthy minerality reminiscent of wet stone, adding depth to the aromatic profile. On the palate, these flavors persist, united by a captivating medley of red, black, and blue fruit tones, accompanied by intriguing baking spices such as cinnamon, allspice, and cardamom. A well-rounded natural acidity gracefully spreads across the mid-palate, amplifying the impressive intensity that even exceeds the remarkable 2021 vintage.
The finish is where this wine truly shines, as a harmonious symphony of luscious fruit and impeccably balanced tannins culminate into a lasting finale that embodies the essence of its exceptional terroir. An exquisite balance of sheer power and innate grace unfolds, showcasing the captivating sensations that can only be summoned by the To Kalon vineyard, creating a hauntingly memorable impression.
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III
The 2022 Perchance Estates Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of elegance and allure. With a deep garnet-purple color, it offers a captivating medley of aromas that include ripe black cherries, velvety cassis, and wild blueberries woven together with notes of sweet baking spices, crushed gravel, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine unveils its plush texture, harmoniously integrating vibrant freshness with a rich concentration, opulent layers, and velvety tannins. The wine’s power and elegance are perfectly balanced, creating a sensory journey that is both sophisticated and playful. The impeccably balanced richness culminates in a luxuriously long and powerful finish that gracefully lingers, inviting you to savor each moment.
While the wine can certainly be enjoyed upon release with a proper decant, it will continue to evolve and gain further complexity over the next 25+ years.
