With an artistic temperament and a background in science, La Follette has moved on from creating some of the best small Pinot Noir labels at Flowers to launching his own label, La Follette, which showcases Greg's Pinot Noir passion and skills.
Best known for his special understanding of mouth feels and yeasts, La Follette has become known for exceptionally well-balanced Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from Sonoma County.
La Follette's 2008 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a nod to white Burgundy, made with great care and intention. The result is a slightly green hue with delicate floral aromas that deepen into stronger, slightly fruity flavors when let to linger in the glass. The smooth, textured mouthfeel is a hallmark of La Follette.
While not everyone enjoys a Chardonnay, La Follette's 2008 Mendocino Ridge (an extremely limited release) strives to convert the skeptics, with a nearly cream, ripe with fruit freshness.
La Follette's 2008 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is one for collectors. Meant to develop with age, the cool climate, October harvest vintage promises deep flavors and a long finish with lots of depth.
The wines range from $34-$60 and are all limited production, making them not only a treat for yourself, but also the perfect holiday party gift.
