    You could drink any old Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. Or, you could fill up on this as an EXTRA-ORDINARY, rare blend.

    A downright delicious and creamy white with an undercurrent of zingy acidity. Leads with the creaminess, and ripe tropical and orchard fruit of Chardonnay, balanced by the zesty-bright acidity of Bianchetta Trevigiana. But that’s not all—the fleshy, juicy, floral-driven qualities of Viognier and Pinot Grigio are balanced by the soft, silken, and highly aromatic notes from Grenache Blanc and Albariño. This is pure aromatic magic and a real surprise on the palate. Serve with Sole Meunière, Coq au Vin Blanc, or fish and chips.

    This one was a blast to put together! Here’s the inside scoop on how Lot 921—a deliciously rare white blend—came to be. In early 2020, our viticulturist, Zeke, picked up the phone to find out a host of unique varieties originally destined for a master blender of kitchen-sink grapes was backing out of a deal. The caller offered Zeke Chardonnay and Bianchetta Trevigiana (an Italian variety) from Carneros, Viognier and Pinot Grigio grapes from Sonoma Mountain, and Grenache Blanc and Albariño from the Suisun Valley, east of San Francisco.

    Zeke conferenced with the winemaking team to find out if they wanted all those varieties, and their collective thinking was immediately affirmative. They reasoned that if this legendary master blender was planning to bottle all those grapes into one blend—the Cameron Hughes team should do the same. It’s so rare that we get to flex our creative muscles with whites from California. It’s usually either Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. But not Lot 921. This white HAS IT ALL. The creaminess and ripe tropical and orchard fruit of Chardonnay; the zesty-bright acidity of Bianchetta Trevigiana; the fleshy, juicy, floral-driven qualities from Viognier and Pinot Grigio, balanced by the soft, silken, and highly aromatic notes from Grenache Blanc and Albariño. The result is pure aromatic magic. This is a wine you could smell all day, all night.
