Keith Hock Blanc de Blancs Los Carneros Sonoma 2015
About the wine
The elegant bubbly Keith's wanted to make ever since he left Schramsberg
- Keith nailed it. After resting in bottle for 18 months during tirage, your top-shelf bubbly is dripping with richness and yet, it's still so soft and crisp. This single-varietal Carneros Blanc de Blancs is the luxury sparkling he's always wanted to make. And YOU made it possible.
- Before you came along, Keith was Head Winemaker at Schramsberg - where he made Napa's most prestigious sparkling wine. He used the magic of Angel funding to make this bubbly with the same elegance, stature and decadence as Schramsberg's famed Blanc de Blancs... at a fraction of the price!
- Try not to freak out when we tell you this: Only 200 cases were made. Wine with this much finesse will sell out before the big clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, so you need to BUY NOW.
Best before
The wine will taste fresh and bright upon release but will continue to age and develop in the bottle.
Drink now through the next 5 years or more depending on if you like a fresh wine or a more developed rich wine.
Serving advice
Chill the wine in your refrigerator then untwist the wire, hold the cork and wire in one hand facing away from your face or your guest, slowly turn the bottle and the cork will slide out easily with a little pop!
Food match
It tastes great with Oysters, and white fish such as cod. Being a blanc de blancs, it also pairs nicely with spicy dishes, too!
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Keith Hock
-
Keith is undeniably California’s best sparkling winemaker. He made sparkling wines for Schramsberg earning over thirty 90+ scores from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator.

But those 90+ scores weren’t enough, working for the most esteemed wineries can limit your creativity and Keith craved the freedom to make the wines HE wanted to make.
-
Thanks to Angel funding, Keith now has the complete freedom to use his creative powers, making mind-blowing wines on his own terms, exclusively for Angels.
