The full moon has long been a guiding light for fa The full moon has long been a guiding light for farmers. Centuries before modern technology, growers turned to the moon’s cycle to know when to plant, prune, and harvest—believing the lunar pull influenced the rise of sap, the growth of roots, and even the flavor of fruit.Out in the vineyard tonight, the glow of the moon casts its spell not only on the vines, but on the creatures of the night—owls perched above, foxes weaving through the rows, and the hum of life that thrives under its silver light.At Carte Blanche, we honor these age-old rhythms, letting nature’s cues remind us that farming is as much about listening as it is about labor. The moonlight carries history, mystery, and balance into every season, and into every glass.📸: @garretmurphyphotography

Chardonnay is nearly ready! As the grapes ripen, s Chardonnay is nearly ready! As the grapes ripen, sugars climb, acids soften, and flavors come alive. Harvest is right around the corner and we can’t wait to bring these clusters to the cellar.
Philippe Melka, our winemaker, walks the vineyard Philippe Melka, our winemaker, walks the vineyard rows with a careful eye and practiced hand. Each cluster is sampled, each berry tasted—gauging the balance of flavor, sugar, and acidity that signals harvest is near.Out here, among the vines, the story of the vintage is written berry by berry. The anticipation builds with every step as Philippe guides us toward the moment when fruit will become wine. Soon, the season’s work will be gathered, pressed, and transformed into the wines of Carte Blanche.#CarteBlancheWine #HarvestCountdown #PhilippeMelka #NapaValleyVineyards #NapaValleyWine #SonomaWine #CabernetSauvignon #NapaCab #SonomaCountyWine #LuxuryWine #WineTasting #VineyardLife #WineCountry #FineWine #WineCollector #CaliforniaWine #NapaValleyLife #RedWineLovers #VineyardViews #BoutiqueWinery #EstateWine #WineTime #VineyardWalk #TasteNapa

Weekend plans, sorted. 🔥🥩 Grab a bottle of o Weekend plans, sorted. 🔥🥩 Grab a bottle of our Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon — rich, full-bodied, with layers of blackberry, cassis, dried herbs + a long, velvety finish. It’s the kind of Cab that was made for backyard nights. 🍷✨Pair it with a New York steak + grilled veggies:
👉 Brush steaks + seasonal veggies (zucchini, peppers, mushrooms) with olive oil, salt + cracked pepper.
👉 Grill steaks 4–5 min per side (medium-rare magic).
👉 Char the veggies until tender + smoky.Plate it up, pour a glass, and let the night unfold Carte Blanche style. 🌿

We’re about 90% through veraison here in Napa Va We’re about 90% through veraison here in Napa Valley, and harvest is right around the corner. The clusters are glowing with color, the seeds are maturing, and the fruit looks nothing short of extraordinary.The 2025 growing season has been a dream — steady sunshine, cool marine breezes, and just the right touch of fog have kept ripening slow and even. Spring set the stage with ideal bloom conditions, summer delivered consistent warmth without extreme spikes, and the vines have been able to hold onto perfect acidity while building rich, layered flavors.This is the kind of season winemakers dream about… and soon, those dreams will be in the press.#CarteBlancheWine #NapaValley #Veraison #Harvest2025 #WineCountry #Winemaking #NapaValleyWine #VineyardLife #CabernetSauvignon #Chardonnay #PinotNoir #WineLovers #DrinkBetterWine
The Sonoma Coast is more than a postcard view — The Sonoma Coast is more than a postcard view — it’s a vital ingredient in our Chardonnay & Pinot Noir. The cold Pacific waters, salty sea air, and lingering fog slow the ripening of our grapes, preserving acidity and building complex flavors. That coastal influence is what gives Carte Blanche Pinot Noir & Chardonnay their signature balance, minerality, and elegance. Taste the coast for yourself, grab a bottle of our Chardonnay & Pinot Noir today!#CarteBlancheWine #SonomaCoast #Chardonnay #PinotNoir #CoolClimateWines #SonomaWine #CoastalVineyards #PinotNoir #PacificOcean #WestSonomaCoast #Coastal #LifeOpensUp #sonomawines #winetasting #winery #wine #luxurywine #coastalwines

Down in the southern reaches of Napa Valley, the c Down in the southern reaches of Napa Valley, the cool breath of the San Pablo Bay rolls in like clockwork—whispers of fog in the morning, maritime breezes in the afternoon. This natural air conditioning system is the secret behind the elegance and restraint of our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at Carte Blanche.The influence of the bay tempers the summer heat, allowing our fruit to ripen slowly, holding onto acidity while building depth of flavor. It’s why our Pinot Noir speaks with a soft-spoken power—red cherry, wild herbs, a touch of sea spray. And it’s why our Chardonnay finds balance between citrus brightness and textured minerality.These are wines born of patience, place, and the rhythm of the tides.#CarteBlancheWine #NapaValley #SanPabloBayInfluence #Chardonnay #PinotNoir #CoolClimateWines #WineWithIntent #TasteThePlace

Coastal mornings at Carte Blanche start with a hus Coastal mornings at Carte Blanche start with a hush—clouds drape the vineyard like a soft blanket, holding back the sun just long enough to let our vines ease into the day. It’s nature’s slow pour, keeping things cool and calm before the afternoon warmth arrives. And if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of birds flying in and around the rows, a fox, a red-tailed hawk, or even a curious deer wandering around. The coast has its rhythm—and we’re just along for the ride.#CarteBlancheWinery #CoastalVineyards #MorningFog #WestSonomaCoast #WineWithWildlife #CoolClimateWines #Chardonnay #PinotNoir #FoggyVines #WildlifeAndWine #SustainableFarming #VineyardViews #WineCountryLife #SonomaWine #WineWithAView #Winery #TasteTheCoast #CarteBlancheVineyards #winery #wine #winemakers #vineyards #napawine #sonomawine
