The 2022 Fragrant Snare presents highly expressive scents of white flower, peach, baked apple and lime rind. Clean, flinty textures rush the palate with notes of nectarine, tangelo and mixed citrus with suggestions of light spice and green herb. The finish is elegant and stony, lingering with a triumphant kiss of acidity.
In the words of Director of Winemaking Jeremy Leffert: “It’s all about knowing when to bend the rules.” That moment returns with the 2022 Fragrant Snare—a blend of classic Chardonnay (85%) with fleshy Chenin Blanc (15%) and aromatic Viognier (5%). Each varietal lot was harvested and fermented separately.
The Chardonnay was whole-cluster pressed and predominantly fermented in concrete eggs, while the Chenin Blanc and Viognier were fermented in neutral French oak barrels with a small portion in new French oak barrels. After fermentation, the wines remained on the lees in their respective vessels for eight months of maturation prior to blending and bottling.

Elegant and unconventional blends, with labels inspired by the classic art of naturalist John James Audubon. These wines are made with imagination and intention, resulting in powerful blends that do justice to the struggle they enticed.
