Sparkling St. Laurent Petillant Naturel | Cruse Wine Co. Ricci Vineyard 2021

Discover Our 2020 St. Laurent from Carneros, California
Experience the unique charm of this Austrian varietal, meticulously cultivated in Sonoma County’s cool Carneros region by Dale Ricci—a vintner with deep roots in the area’s century-old dairy farming traditions. The influence of the San Pablo Bay ensures slow ripening, preserving vibrant freshness reminiscent of a youthful Pinot Noir: bright, energetic, and utterly captivating.

This exceptional cool-climate red wine bursts with creamy peach and luscious banana cream tart aromas, enhanced by a richer color profile than previous vintages. On the palate, enjoy a silky texture and soft effervescence that glides into a subtly off-dry finish—making it effortlessly drinkable and delightfully versatile.

Crafted from dry-farmed, organic grapes at just 11.5% alcohol, this food-friendly red pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses. Its balanced acidity and creamy structure offer an approachable yet sophisticated choice for both casual sipping and special occasions.
