We are very proud to announce that in the June issue of Wine & Spirits Magazine, the Fleur de California brand was listed as one of the top 17 U.S. Value Brands. Considering the competition, we are extremely proud of this recognition.

June 2010

What:  Affordable Carneros pinot noir, plus chardonnay and petite sirah from the North Coast.

Standout:  Blackberry fruit, rich tannins and a caramel-like oak sweetness combine to make the 2007 North Coast Petite Sirah a benchmark for the variety.

Where:  Based in Napa, with vineyard sources in Carneros, the North Coast and the Central Coast.

When:  The clean, brioche-scented ’07 North Coast Chardonnay is rich enough for a mushroom pasta. The Petite Sirah has enough body to stand up to steak, especially if you donate a glass to reduce for the sauce.
