When was the last time you had a glass of our UV Vineyard Chardonnay? The vineyard lies in the cooling Sonoma Coast salt air, golden light, and rows of Chardonnay just above the fog line.This Sonoma Coast site gives our UV Vineyard Chardonnay its signature tension and texture: citrus and white peach layered with coastal minerality and a touch of brioche. It’s the kind of wine that makes simple moments feel elevated.We love it alongside lemon herb roast chicken or a creamy spring pea risotto—especially when shared outside, with good company.📸: @garretmurphyphotography

🍷 Cooking With Carte Blanche: A Season of FlavorSpring has arrived, and our Sun Chase Pinot Noir is singing alongside these seasonal dishes:
1. Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops with Morel Mushroom Sauce
The tender lamb and earthy morels meet their match in the wine’s layered red fruit, savory spice, and subtle forest floor character.
2. Honey-Glazed Ham with Roasted Spring Vegetables
Sweet and savory, this dish plays beautifully with the wine’s bright acidity and delicate tannins, drawing out its fruit-forward charm.
3. Trout Almondine
Crisp, buttery trout with toasted almonds brings out the elegance and finesse in every sip of this coastal Pinot.Explore the full recipes and discover more perfect pairings at carteblanchewine.com/recipes.Show us your creations!

At Carte Blanche, every detail matters. Before our

At Carte Blanche, every detail matters. Before our wines ever touch oak, each barrel is carefully steamed—a precise, chemical-free process that sanitizes the wood while preserving its natural integrity.Steaming not only ensures a pristine environment for aging, but also gently opens the pores of the barrel, allowing the wine to integrate more gracefully with the oak. The result? A more harmonious expression of character, texture, and elegance in every glass.Luxury begins with intention.#CarteBlancheWine #PrecisionInProcess #LuxuryInTheDetails #WinemakingExcellence #NapaValleyCraftsmanship #winemaking #winemakers #napavalleywine #winery #wine #bordeaux #cabernet #pinotnoir #chardonnay #themark

Out here on the edge of the wild, the vines aren’t the only ones thriving. The land surrounding our vineyards is a sanctuary—untouched enough for deer to wander freely at dawn, coyotes to sing at dusk, and the occasional mountain lion to leave its mark under a full moon.At Carte Blanche, we farm with intention, knowing that great wine begins with a healthy, living ecosystem. The wildlife that surrounds us is a reminder: this land is shared, sacred, and full of stories.Here, nature isn’t just the backdrop—it’s part of the terroir.#CarteBlancheWine #WildlifeAndWine #VineyardLife #SonomaCoast #FarmingWithRespect #SustainableWinegrowing #wine #vineyards #vines #Napa #Sonoma

Sun Chase Vineyard sits high above the fog line on

Sun Chase Vineyard sits high above the fog line on the western slopes of Sonoma Mountain, where the vines soak in the morning sun and cool down with the afternoon breeze. This special site boasts:✨ Elevation & Exposure – At 1,200 feet, it basks in early sunshine while staying protected from extreme heat.🌬 Coastal Influence – Pacific winds sweep through, preserving freshness and acidity.
🪨 Rocky, Well-Drained Soils – The vines dig deep, leading to concentrated flavors and complexity.These elements come together in Carte Blanche’s Sun Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir, a wine that’s as vibrant as the vineyard itself. Bright red fruit and wild berries burst forward, balanced by crisp acidity and an elegant, mineral-driven backbone. The structure is fine-grained and silky, with a long finish that whispers of the cool coastal air and the rocky soils beneath. A Pinot with both grace and power—just like the land it comes from.Who do you share our wines with?#CarteBlancheWine #SunChaseVineyard #PinotNoir #SonomaCoast #SingleVineyard #CoolClimateWines #EstateGrown #FineWine #LuxuryWine #WineCollector #GrandCruCalifornia #SonomaCoast #CoastalInfluence #SmallProductionWines #HandcraftedWine #TerroirDriven #OldWorldMeetsNew #SonomaPinot #CaliforniaWine #WineLover #PinotPerfection #WineTasting #WinesOfInstagram #RedWineLover #DrinkBetter #CarteBlanche

Yesterday we had the honor of meeting the owner of one of our favorite distillers @njoyspirits who crafts Wild Buck whiskey. As winemakers we always embrace moments when we can connect fellow craftsmen and learn about their process.
