We couldn’t agree more. This vintage has been quietly evolving in our cellar, layering savory depth and silk into that signature Petaluma Gap freshness. The cool winds and long hangtime that define Azaya Ranch’s coastal hillsides show beautifully here—vibrant red fruit, lifted spice, and a minerality that’s pure Petaluma.
In celebration of Brian’s feature, we’re releasing a small library allocation exclusively to our club members for the holiday release. It’s available as an add-on to your Holiday Club shipment—a rare chance to revisit a wine that’s drinking stunningly now but still has years of life ahead.
