The Story

This is UV Vineyard showing its coastal character—ripe fruit without heaviness. The palate is fleshy and low-acid, yet maintains freshness through pure fruit expression rather than sharp edges. Helen Keplinger was the winemaker for this wine. The vineyard is 22-year-old Wente clone vines.

About Carte Blanche Wine

Producer Story

Nicholas Allen grew up with one foot on American soil and the other immersed in the culture of two of Bordeaux’s oldest, greatest châteaux. He gained an early exposure and genuine interest in wine at the family dinner table. A restless, independent, free spirit, Nick knew he had to make his own mark on the world of wine. He looked west to the Napa Valley, where he found the tabula rasa he could transform into something entirely his: Carte Blanche Wine.
