On our most recent family trip to Napa & Sonoma, we enjoyed a tasting at Dumol in Sonoma where our parents’ friend Jill works. While catching up and enjoying Dumol’s Pinot Noirs, we got the scoop that Jill has been working on her own wine label – Cordelette!
An avid rock climber, Jill named her wine for the rope connections that keep climbers tethered to each other for safety and support. To Jill, Cordelette signifies a community of people taking care of each other. Her wine, as she describes it, could never have been made without the village of friends and believers by her side.
While not available for sale just yet, we got to sample a bottle, and let us tell you this is a wine (and winemaker) to watch for! Jill’s Chenin Blanc is approachable, with smooth peach and honeysuckle, and a zippy acidity.
Follow Jill’s journey at @cordelettewine and drop her note to say hi!
