The 2022 Chenin Blanc presents dazzling floral aromas of pear, apricot, honeycomb and kiwi peel. The mouthfeel is bright and quenching, with fleshy textures and flavors of nectarine, lime zest, grapefruit and ginger spice. Racy acidity and slate-like minerality linger on the finish. An expressive rendition of California’s subversive yet enduring white grape.
The 2022 Chenin Blanc comes from Jurassic Park Vineyard, where the own-rooted Chenin Blanc vines were planted to sandy, fluffy soils in the 1980s. These mature vines produce inherently balanced fruit with vivid flavor expression.
The fruit was hand-harvested in the cool morning hours and whole-cluster pressed into stainless steel tanks. After the wine was initially chilled and settled, Winemaker Jeremy Leffert stirred the tanks before barreling the wine down with the heavy lees for fermentation in neutral French oak barrels—a method designed to build texture while maintaining freshness.
After fermentation, the wine was aged sur lie for six months in barrels, then blended and returned for five months of maturation in stainless steel tanks.

Sustainability is at the core of what we do. It is our way of doing right by the land that gives us so much. It also means being a good steward of our people, community, and winery culture.

Stasis wines focus on coastal expressions of both renowned and obscure grape varieties. They pay homage to the Stasis Theory, a truth-seeking discipline first practiced by the great philosophers and orators of ancient Greece. Between the physical and metaphysical, there is Stasis — a balanced state of being.
