Tasting notes
The 2018 Spiritual Gatherings is mostly Chardonnay from John Sebastiano, with about 20% Roussanne. Partial skin contact on the Roussanne imparts a good deal of tannin and structure. A white of tremendous nuance and character, Spiritual Gatherings has a lot to offer. Give it a few hours of air to be at its best.

The 2018 Spiritual Gatherings is another fresh, focused white from Matthias Pippig. Based on 80% Chardonnay and 20% Roussanne aged 25 months in a mix of barrel and tank, it has a classic Chardonnay nose of orchard fruits, crushed stone, honeysuckle, and some subtle marine-like sea breeze notes. The palate is also terrific and is medium-bodied, focused, and elegant, with bright acidity and a clean finish.
