At Robert Kline Art, we believe in enriching life’s experiences, whether through crafting something beautiful or indulging in the finer things. Today, we’re combining the magic of the cosmos with the exquisite flavors of Sonoma Coast wines for an unforgettable virtual wine and stargazing experience.
Journey to the Western Sonoma Coast: Where Stars Meet Soil
Our virtual adventure takes us to the prestigious vineyards of the Western Sonoma Coast, a region celebrated for its cool climate and breathtaking landscapes. It’s here that we discover “Stargazing,” an exceptional wine born from the heart of these unique terroirs.
Renowned winemaker Jayson Woodbridge, the visionary behind Hundred Acre, brings us this accessible masterpiece. Known for his meticulous approach, Woodbridge describes Stargazing as a wine that overdelivers: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, flowers, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.”
Unlocking the Essence of Stargazing Wine
Crafted with the same dedication as its pricier counterparts, Stargazing undergoes whole berry fermentation in puncheons and open-top fermenters, preserving the pure fruit flavors. The result is a wine that bursts with the essence of fresh berries, a touch of floral sweetness, and the invigorating minerality characteristic of the region.
Summer Dreams: Ascending to New Heights of Flavor
But our virtual journey doesn’t end there. We ascend to even loftier heights with Summer Dreams, the latest endeavor from Jayson Woodbridge. This collection showcases the diversity and exceptional quality of Western Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The Goldridge Soil Advantage: A Foundation for Excellence
Summer Dreams wines are sourced from meticulously chosen hillside vineyards, some perched as high as 1900 feet above sea level. What sets these vineyards apart is their rare Goldridge soil – a well-drained, fine-grained sandy loam treasured for its ability to impart unique qualities to the wines.
Wine expert and sommelier, Emily Carter, explains, “Goldridge soils are like gold dust for winemakers. They give the wines a wonderful texture, almost silky. And because the drainage is so good, the grapes ripen evenly, resulting in wines with incredible depth and complexity.”
