This is an all-stainless-steel-fermented winemaker’s blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Merlot Blanc with a splash of fruit followed by a refreshing zing of acidity. Clean, vibrant citrus notes add complexity to the fresh and juicy finish. The bright, crisp flavor of this wine pairs beautifully with soft cheeses, light salads, and oysters on the half shell.

Staff Pick Notes

You ever meet one of those amazing mutts on the street? One that you just fall in love with but that begs you to ask, “what kind of dog is this?” Then you learn that each magnificent attribute, the one floppy ear, that athletic frame, those charmingly stubby legs and that sweet face, owes to a different breed? Coalescence is the vinous version of that endearing street mutt. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon and Pinot Blanc, affectionately crossbred to produce an impossibly lovable wine. A nose of flowers, citrus and slight petrol, a palate of mouthwatering acidity and a whisper of effervescence… I took one sip and said, “I don’t know what you are. But I just have to take you home with me.”

Glossary

New York

New York winemakers have embraced international varieties and hit the ground running. The Hudson River Valley is home to the oldest vineyards in New York State. Bordeaux varietals are at home in Long Island’s maritime climate. The Finger Lakes harbors a burgeoning winemaking community where many natural-inclined producers focus on dry still wines. No longer is our fair state synonymous with Concord grapes and Manischewitz; look for brilliant iterations of Pinot Noir, Riesling, Cabernet Franc,...

Riesling

Though the trend is now in the other direction, for many years Riesling was known for producing wines with little alcohol and some residual sugar - too sweet for many modern wine drinkers. Though it's now cultivated worldwide, Riesling is nearly synonymous with German wine, and that country's winemakers have lately begun to produce some very exciting dry versions. They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...

Sauvignon Blanc

Few varietals have spawned as bizarre a list of descriptors as Sauvignon Blanc. Believe it or not, “cat pee” is in fact a complimentary tasting note, associated with some of the best bottlings. (It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
