Wines That Define Us.

2021 Brut Zero Bald Mountain Vineyard

“Richly layered and powerful — crisp, clean layers of pure green apple and grapefruit. Gorgeous.” — 98 pts

2020 Rouge Brute, California

“Strawberry jam, raspberries, peaches, wet leaves, super-herbaceous on the palate, green coffee-bean tannin and chilli on the palate. A bit green for my taste but I can see the appeal.” — 16/20

2019 Brut Zero Bald Mountain Vineyard

“Winemaker Dan Person thinks this is the best sparkling wine he's ever made and he's not wrong — a seamless study in grand cru Chardonnay.” — 98 pts

2020 Marin Blanc de Noirs Pinot Noir, Petaluma Gap

“Light bronze gold with medium-fine bubbles. Smells of citrus peel, red-apple skin and a hint of raspberries. A voluminous mousse delivers flavours of citrus peel, citrus pith and a touch of tropical fruit. Good acidity and length.” — 16.5/20

2021 Brut Zero Bald Mountain Vineyard

“One of winemaker Dan Person's standouts — what he calls his own desert island wine.” — 98 pts

Rouge Brute

“The ruby-hued, juicy Carboniste Rouge Brute, a blend of Merlot and Albariño, helps make his point.”

2020 Octopus Albariño Extra Brut

“Pineapple, pear, golden apple, slight floral, candied lemon, smarties (candy). These wines are consistently primary and fun.” — 16/20

“The Carboniste project has managed to emerge as a serious, modern, sparkling producer that captivates palates on a daily basis.”

2019 Brut Zero Bald Mountain Vineyard

“From a site fully exposed to the might of the ocean, it speaks with a real sense of place — and will age beautifully another 10–15 years.” — 98 pts

“Carboniste leans into the unusual — but very much the deliciously unusual.”

Extra Brut Albariño

“Guests often think it's going to be Champagne and are surprised when we tell them what it is.”

2019 Rosé Brut Petaluma Gap (predecessor vintage)

“Palest pink with peach highlights and fine bubbles. Smells of orange peel and berries. A silky mousse delivers flavours of berries, citrus peel and hints of bubble gum that give the wine a faint fruitiness. Great acidity and a lovely salinity. Quite pleasurable.” — 17/20

2021 Extra Brut Albariño

“Seductive and classy aromas of ripe yellow fruit, baked brioche, citrus and fresh bread. Harmonious, sophisticated, with nice complexity.” — 91 pts

2018 Octopus Gomez Vineyard Sparkling Albariño

“Pure magic — an explosion of mandarin blossoms mingled with orange peel and spice.”

Corralitos Brut

“The Pinot Noir from Corralitos is red-fruited, showing strawberry, raspberry, and vibrant acid.”

“On a mission to redefine sparkling wine with a distinctly California flair.”
