Keith Hock Blanc de Blancs Los Carneros Sonoma 2016
About the wine
Elegant bubbly - from the guy who led Schramsberg to THIRTY 90pt. scores!
- No wonder last year's vintage of this single-varietal Carneros Blanc de Blancs won GOLD! After letting your bubbly rest in bottle for 18 months during tirage, your top-shelf sparkling is dripping with richness - and yet, it's still so refreshing and crisp!
- Before you came along, Keith was Head Winemaker at Schramsberg, crafting the nation's most prestigious sparkling. Now he's made a bubbly with the same elegance, and stature as Schramsberg's famed Blanc de Blancs... at a fraction of the price!
- Try not to freak out when we tell you this: Only 300 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
It will taste great upon release, but will develop and become more complex for many years. Drink between now and 2028.
Serving advice
Chill, hold bottle, untwist wire hood and hold in one hand while turning bottle with the other. Most importantly, point away from people.
Food match
This wine will pair great with raw oysters.

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.
