2023 FRONT ROW

The Best Seat In The House

To some, the Front Row is the best seat in the house; reserved for the ones who want to be up close, on the edge of their seat as the curtain rises. The Front Row of a vineyard catches the opening light as the sun rises, filling the grapes with enthusiasm. This blend showcases that exact sentiment. It is dynamic, floral, complex, & refreshingly crisp. Roussanne acts as our lead character building texture within the layers of ripe pineapple, honey, & apricot. Pair this wine poolside, or with a preshow buttery dish.

This performance is dedicated to Chuck & Cathy.

About the Vineyard

Nestled in the heart of Sonoma, this special one-acre vineyard stands out for its focus on domestic Rhône varietals—a rarity in the region and a distinction that brings unique character to the wines grown in California. The property is home to the Williamsons, where Cathy—a master gardener—has shaped the land with remarkable intention. The vineyard is farmed using biodynamic practices, and the surrounding garden hosts more than 34 varieties of fruits and vegetables, each planted with a purpose. Every element attracts beneficial insects, encourages biodiversity, and strengthens the natural cycle of rejuvenation. This thoughtful ecosystem ensures exceptional quality in everything grown on the property—including the grapes behind this wine.

Additional Tasting Notes

People often say this wine “drinks like a red,” and even those who don’t typically drink white wines are drawn to it. That comes from the natural richness of its Rhône varietals and the stainless-steel fermentation with extended lees contact, which builds texture while keeping the profile clean and lifted. The result is a bright, expressive wine with undeniable “body-ody-ody.” The 2023 vintage is beautifully fresh, full of tropical notes, backed by texture, with a bright and crisp finish.
