Capensis Western Cape Chardonnay

Its name taken from the Latin word for “from the cape,” Capensis wines are produced in South Africa, one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world. The ancient soils, dramatic landscapes and historic vineyards of Stellenbosch, Overberg and Robertson are the foundation for Capensis, which honors the greatness of South Africa. Winemaker Graham Weerts has carefully selected the finest Chardonnay vineyards within the Western Cape to create these expressive wines.

Penner-Ash Wine Cellars Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Penner-Ash Wine Cellar’s Willamette Valley Pinot Noir showcases the distinguishing textures, flavor profiles and terroir of the region, with beautiful elegance and balance. Since its inaugural vintage in 1998, founding winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash has drawn upon longstanding relationships with grower neighbors and friends, to source fruit from the Willamette Valley’s most distinguished vineyards. Today, Winemaker Kate Ayres and Lynn have created a wine that uniquely explores six sub-Avas, culminating in a Pinot Noir emblematic of the Valley, and of the Penner-Ash winemaking style – a textural experience from start to finish.
