Using the French Methode Champenoise, our sparkling wine is made from 100% Pinot Blanc grapes and ages 3 years before being disgorged in small lots to guarantee a crisp, fresh wine. A repeat winner at the prestigious LA International Wine Competition, and named as a top American Sparkling Wine by Wine Spectator, our Blanc de Blancs is perhaps one of our greatest achievements. This brut sparkler boasts a nose redolent of green apple and pear, accented by hints of citrus, honey, and yeast. The palate comes alive with delicate, refreshing, tiny bubbles creating classic pairings with caviar, oysters, smoked fish, or with rich desserts like chocolate mousse or baked Alaska.

Our newest addition to the Bridge Lane label is this light, quaffable, Chinon-style Cab Franc. Released June of 2007, this wine has quickly become one of our hottest sellers. On the nose bing cherry, blueberry, and cinnamon are accented by hints of sweet peppers. A soft mid-palate leads to a smooth finish with subtle notes of spiced vanilla. This is a great red wine match for spicy foods. Try it with barbecue, Mexican, Thai, or any spicy marinades.

Our Bridge Lane Merlot is a soft, medium-bodied wine, a bit less complex and more fruit focused than our Reserve Merlot. It is blended with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and has been aged in French oak for 8 months. It exhibits dark fruit aromas of blackberry, plum, and raspberry while a round mouth feel along with subtle tannins create a smooth finish. This is a great everyday Merlot for everything from grilled meats to pizza or pasta.

Our smallest but best vintage to date, the 2006 Rose is a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Syrah. Bold aromas of ripe strawberries and watermelon are followed by delicate floral nuances and a hint of ruby red grapefruit and honeydew melon. This rose is once again done in the French style, meaning it consists of crisp, light, and dry, fruit forward flavors. This quintessential summer wine is perfect for barbecue, cold salads, chicken, or any light fare.

ank fermented and finished in French oak for 6 months, this Chardonnay opens with subtle aromas of pear and baked apple that quickly develop into lush nutty lees characters. The palate is rich and creamy with mouth filling butterscotch and almond notes. Undertones of caramel and coconut linger creating a velvety impression with a long, round finish. A great wine for autumn as an ideal compliment to your Thanksgiving table. Also pair with poultry, corn on the cob, lobster, or dishes featuring heavy cream sauces.

We’ve been producing our elegant reserve Merlot since 1997. The 2003 vintage continues our style with first press juice and 15 months of barrel age in French oak. Hints of tobacco, cedar, and spice are followed by undertones of dark fruits. The mid-palate is ripe and creamy, and the finish has lingering dark currant flavors and tannins that will soften with age. Try this wine with soft bloomy-rind cheeses such as brie, or with beef or lamb dishes.

Pinot Blanc, our signature wine, is perhaps our finest vintage ever. The old vines were planted in 1982 and produce wonderfully complex wine. We use only the first-press or free run juice, and ferment entirely in stainless, to capture the freshness and complex nuances of the fruit. Look for aromas of citrus, lime and rose petals, followed by expansive flavors of tangerine and pear on the palate. The long finish has hints of stone and minerals. The acidity is refreshing and palate-cleansing, while the mineral undertones are perfect for oysters and shellfish. It is an excellent alternative to Chardonnay is a favorite among local chefs.
