“These wines, made by Danielle Langlois with consulting help from Tony Biagi, have made the Lasseter Family one of the rising stars in Sonoma. These are beautiful wines well worth seeking out.”

VOILÀ (Here it is) — Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon , Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2021 Vintage

93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (July 2023)
93 Points, The Wine Independent (August 2023)

The 2021 Voilá is an interesting mix of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon. It has a pretty, pure, clean, medium-bodied style that carries ample white peach and light pineapple fruits as well as sappy herb and honeysuckle aromatics. It’s soft, forward, and ready to go, and will shine on the dinner table.

ZutAlors

ZUT ALORS (Shucks) — Sauvignon Blanc, Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2021Vintage

91 Points, Jim Gordon – Wine Enthusiast

The 2021 Zut Alors fills your nose with scents of lemon peel, honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom. The palate has great minerality, and beautiful fruit notes of apple and pear. The mouthfeel is rich an complex, perhaps a tad decadent, with just enough lush acidity to balance the weight. Zut Alors, always a “pleasant surprise!”

EnjoueNoV_sc3

ENJOUÉ (Joyful; Playful) — Rosé, Grenache-focused, Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2022 Vintage

89 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (February 2024)

The 2022 Enjoué Rosé comes from a mix of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Counoise and is a juicy, delicious rosé made in an upfront, Provençal style. Ripe strawberries, spice, and a touch of floral notes all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium-bodied, with bright acid.

CheminDeFerNoV_sc3

CHEMIN DE FER (Iron Road) — Grenache-focused GSM, Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2019 Vintage

93 Points, Wine Spectator (August 2023)
94 Points, The Wine Independent (August 2023)
94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (July 2021)

Incorporating more Grenache, the 2019 Chemin De Fer checks in as 81% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and 9% Syrah. It’s a step up over the 2018 and offers more purity in its blackberry and black raspberry fruits as well as notes of licorice, spice box, and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, and incredibly elegant on the palate, it’s a rocking Grenache that does everything right. Drink it any time over the coming decade.

DentelleDeFerNoV_scCC3

DENTELLE DE FER (Iron Lace) — Grenache-focused GSM, Justi Creek Estate Vineyard, Sonoma Valley

2019 Vintage

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (July 2021)

Based on 71% Grenache, 21% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, the 2019 Dentelle De Fer was mostly destemmed and saw an extended maceration (42 days) followed by just 30% new French oak. Dentelle de Fer is a medium bodied wine with delicate aromas of red plum, herbes de Provence and lavender, hallmarks of our estate Grenache. Intricately layered with Mourvèdre and Syrah, the silky texture is infused with bold tastes of strawberries and chocolate on the mid palate with a long, lingering finish of spice and licorice strong yet delicate, a true expression of iron lace.

PaysageNoV_sc3

PAYSAGE (Landscape Painting; Countryside) — Merlot-focused Bordeaux Blend, Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2018 Vintage

94 – 96+ Points, Jeb Dunnuck (May 2020)

The 2018 Paysage was tasted as a barrel sample and based on 73% Merlot, 19% Malbec, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This inky hued beauty offers a deep core of blue fruits, leafy herbs, graphite, and crushed rock-like minerality. It’s rich and concentrated yet also light on its feet and perfectly balanced. It has plenty of tannins, and my guess is the cellar will be your friend.

AmoureuxNoV_sc3

AMOUREUX (Lovers) — Malbec-focused Bordeaux Blend, Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2019 Vintage

97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (July 2023)

The 2019 Amoureux is the Malbec-dominated cuvee, a blend of 95% Malbec, and 5% Merlot seeing 60% new barrels. The wine offers a mélange of flavors and textures. Ripe blueberry, clove and nutmeg are intertwined with notes of vanilla, which come from 18 months of aging in European oak. The impression of ripe fruit continues on the palate, the wine rich and full with a long, velvety finish.

ReminiscenceNoV_sc3

REMINISCENCE Cabernet Sauvignon, Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2017 Vintage

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (June 2019)

Checking in as 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Malbec brought up in just under 90% new French oak, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reminiscence offers a classic Cabernet nose of blackcurrants, green tobacco, lead pencil, and chocolate. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Bordeaux blend that has great tannins, a solid spine of acidity, and an almost Bordeaux-like vibe in its texture and tannin structure. It’s beautifully done and showed much better from bottle than barrel, which is always a good sign. It’s going to have two decades of longevity.

LAmeDuSage_sc_NoV_3Small

L’AME DU SAGE (Soul of the Wise Man) — Old Vine Zinfandel field blend, Justi Creek Estate Vineyards, Sonoma Valley

2019 Vintage

93-95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (July 2021)

Lots of blackberries, plums, smoked herbs, and chocolate notes emerge from the 2019 L’Ame du Sage, a rich, medium to full-bodied, uber-ripe barrel sample that still shows freshness and purity..

Trinity_Syrah_sc_NoV_3Small

SYRAH Trinity Ridge Estate Vineyard, Moon Mountain District

2018 Vintage

97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (May 2020)

Coming from the Moon Mountain District and all Syrah, the 2018 Syrah Trinity Ridge saw around 12% stems and will spend 18 months in 88% new French oak. Its dense purple color is followed by a powerful, super-rich Syrah that has lots of cool climate pepper, smoked game, and blue (and black) fruits, medium to full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s brilliant Syrah in the making!

Trinity_Cab_sc_NoV_3Small

CABERNET SAUVIGNON Trinity Ridge Estate Vineyard, Moon Mountain District

2018 Vintage

96 – 98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (May 2020)

The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Trinity Ridge reveals a saturated purple color as well as a monster bouquet of blackcurrants, chocolate, graphite, spice box and earth. More tobacco and herbal notes develop with time in the glass, and it’s full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, with a stacked mid-palate, and a great, great finish. This wine is unquestionably the most powerful and opulent in the lineup, but it doesn’t give up anything with regard to elegance and purity.
