Martha Stoumen Honeymoon
70% Colombard, 30% Chardonnay · Dry Farmed · Redwood Valley
Like the poetic tension of a tight chest before taking a big leap, this vintage carries both zippiness and contemplative structure. The rare old vine Colombard—lovingly tended since 1948 with maternal parentage in Chenin Blanc—brings whispers of concentrated white flowers and toasted almonds to the glass. Golden Delicious apple dances with lemon pith brightness, while that signature waxy mouthfeel wraps around subtle Jonagold-like tannins that give this wine its thoughtful backbone.
This is a wine that rewards patience: decant it now or simply uncork an hour before serving. Like its lineage suggests, this vintage will deepen and evolve with another year or two of bottle age.
Go earthy with roasted chicken, leafy greens with crunchy apples, grain salads dressed in shallot vinaigrette, or pistachio crusted fish. Want to keep it simple but still feel fancy? Opt for a fried egg with crispy sage and goat cheese on toast.
You’re ready to take the leap—literally or metaphorically. This wine is perfect for bringing to brunch or savoring during those moments when you feel like you’re about to make the jump.
