2018
Tolenas “Eclipse”
Pinot Noir
Tenbrink Vineyard
Featured on June 27, 2019
Where: Suisun Valley, California
Who: Lisa Howard, 2nd-generation winemaker and licensed engineer
Why: We’d already decided this crisp and compelling wine was a summer necessity when word came in from the 2019 International Women’s Wine Competition: Eclipse had won a gold medal. Congrats to Tolenas and all the winners.
How: This white wine is actually made from red grapes. It was during a grape harvest under the solar eclipse in 2017, the idea for a white Pinot Noir emerged.
