Calif., May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Embrace the
adventure, celebration and magic of the summer season with the
newest wine releases from Jayson Woodbridge's Summer

photography from artists Erin
Malone, Matt Armendariz, and
Jimmy Hayes, gives off July vibes of
afternoon hikes, evening campfires and Sunday gatherings. It's
where ardent lovers of complexity and beauty will gather to acquire
their new favorite wine releases from the portfolio.
Location, Location, Location
Grapes are sourced from some of Sonoma Coast
AVA's most heralded vineyards including the legendary Heintz Vineyard. Located on the second ridge in
from the Pacific Ocean at 900-foot elevation, this ridgeline
vineyard has been farmed by the same family for 100 years.
Additional grapes are sourced from vineyards in
the sub-regions of Fort Ross-Sea View and Freestone-Occidental. Inland, the historic Petersen Ranch, acquired by Woodbridge and soon to be the estate home for
Summer Dreams, is located on the southwestern edge of Sebastopol.
The 96-acre Petersen
Ranch property currently consists of 7.5 planted acres;
planted to exquisite and noble clones of Chardonnay. A complete map
of sub-regions and vineyard sources with climates and soil
structures can be viewed here.
About the Wines
Summer Dreams 2022 Chardonnay The Sun Also
Rises: This mineral rich Sonoma Coast wine is a result of
light pressing and settling before filling an assortment of barrels
and puncheons for fermentation and sur lie aging. After 11 months
in the élevage, a selection of barrels was racked with full lees,
to stainless steel barrels for continued development on lees. The
wine invokes lime blossom, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, toasted almond
and freshly baked croissants. The palate gives way to tangerine
cream and sun-kissed orchard fruits.
Summer Dreams 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Walking on
Venice Beach: A Sonoma Coast blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and
20% Musqué, this mineral laced, elegant wine from aging on the lees
invokes white florals, candied ginger, sage, and apple mint with a
hint of lemongrass on the nose. The concentrated palate has dried
Amalfi lemons, white peach and key lime curd.
Summer Dreams 2023 Rosé Martian
Pink: Crafted from Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, a small portion of
the fruit receives a three-day skin maceration prior to the
traditional Blanc de Noir light pressing resulting in a blush,
salmon-pink hue that opens to aromas of Charentais melon and wild
strawberry intermingled with delicate rose petals and Rainier
cherries. A subtly lush palate is marked by exotic flavors of yuzu
and fresh-picked white peach gently layered on white pepper, white
tea and Herbs de Provence culminates in bright acidity and
refreshing finish that sparkles.
Pinot Noir releases include:
These wines are Jayson flexing his Hundred Acre
muscle for the love of Pinot Noir in a true California style without deference to Burgundy
but just a tip of the hat.
Summer Dreams 2021 Pinot Noir Golden Hour:
Complex notes of ripe strawberries and cherries, hint of tea leaf
and flowers, more medium bodied from the Eastern Ridge of Western
Sonoma Coast, riper and fuller but pure elegance, layering and
perfectly balanced tannins and acidity. Tour de Force of
complexity, a symphony orchestra. Will cellar for 10+ years.
Summer Dreams 2022 Pinot Noir Stargazing:
Glimmering in the glass like a polished ruby stone, splashes of red
berry fruit linger with cedar and sandalwood. Medium-bodied and
electric with energy, bursts of dark fruit, earthy accents, and
floral notes are framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a racy
backbone that finishes long and tingly. Spicy, complex,
sensational.
Summer Dreams 2021 Pinot Noir Super Chill:
Wonderful balance for this Occidental
Area of the Sonoma Coast. Ripe and fresh dark fruit, forest
flowers, intense cherry with hints of spice layered into a very
full-bodied rich wine fermented in puncheon barrels from the finest
French oak and some micro-open top fermenters. This wine has very
fine tannins and acidity, perfect integration for cellaring for 10+
years, but drinking like a champion right now too. Rock Star.
Summer Dreams 2022 Pinot Noir Twilight: A dark
edge with dark fruit, black cherry, and black plum with hints of
the salty sea-spray and misty fog rolling into the Sonoma Coast
from the Pacific Ocean. The full-bodied palate beams with flavors
or wild blueberries and licorice, white pepper and cloves that lead
to an undercurrent of violet. Seductive, with a velvety texture and
seamless freshness, finishing long.
