Miles Garrett Chardonnay · Willow Creek (Humboldt County), California · 2021

The Moment

This is the bottle that comes out when the group leans curious. When someone asks for “something with texture,” or when the night drifts toward deeper conversation and slower pours.

What It Feels Like

Stone fruit and citrus lead with a wild edge — apricot nectar, white peach, key lime, and lemon zest — layered with subtle tropical notes and a distinctly herbal backbone of juniper, sage, and resin. There’s a coastal salinity running through the wine, grounding the fruit and sharpening the focus. On the palate, it’s lean yet expressive, driven by high acidity and a tactile, slightly creamy texture. The finish is bone-dry, clean, and lively, with minerals and herbs lingering long after the sip.

Perfect For

• Herb-forward cooking, roasted vegetables, and olive-oil–driven dishes

• Savory seafood, anchovies, or tinned fish

• When you want a wine that feels alive, textured, and uncompromising

The Vibe Pairing

• Playlist energy: Lo-fi indie, experimental folk, late-night ambient

• Aura color: Pale gold with coastal sage green

• Time of day: Dinner → late evening

Why We Love It

This is Chardonnay shaped by place and philosophy. Made with native yeasts, organic fruit, and no added sulfites, it reflects the cool, rugged character of Willow Creek — bright acidity, herbal nuance, and a sense of energy that evolves in the glass. It’s expressive without being chaotic, natural without losing balance.
