Julia focuses her attention to producing wines from California and the differences in winemaking from her home state of Oregon. We charge on to tasting this attractively nuanced California Sauvignon Blanc; then a delightful and beautifully balanced California Chardonnay; continuing with her alluring and layered Pinot Noir from Northern Italian grapes; replete with an inviting and harmonized expression of California Cabernet Sauvignon.
