Here are the brilliant new releases by Cuvaison.

Cuvaison

December 1, 2024

I love visiting Cuvaison in Carneros. Highly-scenic with Pacific breezes, this spot has been a pillar of consistency. The tainted hands of winemaker Steve Rogstad have guided this house, making world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that focuses on poise and texture. I have long admired these wines and fondly recall tasting some impressive early 2000s Chardonnay when I was in graduate school. It is hard to believe that this winery was first founded back in 1969. Then in 1979 they acquired 400 acres of highly prized land north of San Pablo Bay in the Los Carneros district of Napa Valley which is a site that is highly influenced by fog and cooler temperatures from the bay.

The new Cuvaison which come from the 2020 and 2022 vintages. I adored the new 2022 Cuvaison Pinot Noir (OB, 92) which is forward and juicy, capturing the heat of the vintage beautifully. Learn more about this outstanding producer at https://www.cuvaison.com and here are the killer sparkling wine, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir releases by Cuvaison.

2023 Cuvaison Sauvignon Blanc- The really good 2023 Cuvaison Sauvignon Blanc delivers ginger and gooseberry notes alongside rich melon and minerals on the palate. Nicely textured, enjoy now and over the next few years. Drink 2024-2028- 91

2022 Cuvaison Chardonay- The 2022 Cuvaison Chardonnay was mainly stored in neutral oak barrels before bottling. It is rich with honey and banana tones alongside pineapple upside-down cake accents. Drink 2024-2030- 91

2022 Cuvaison Pinot Noir- The really good 2022 Cuvaison Pinot Noir offers rich cola and red raspberry notes on the palate with salty minerals and shades of dried herbs. Delicious and juicy, enjoy now and over the next eight years. Drink 2024-2032- 92
