A Gift That Feels Personal
Mother’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the women who shape our lives with something thoughtful and expressive. Just as food and wine are designed to complement one another, flowers and wine create harmony when paired with intention.
Whether she loves bold color, timeless elegance, adventurous choices, or sunny afternoons outdoors, these curated pairings offer a meaningful way to say thank you.
The Colorful Mom
Rainbow Bouquet + Heirloom Pinot Noir
If she delights in vibrant displays and expressive style, embrace nature’s full palette. A bouquet of yellow daisies, orange lilies, green hydrangeas, and purple asters creates a joyful arrangement that feels alive and celebratory.
Pair it with Heirloom Pinot Noir, crafted from select heirloom selections of the varietal. Just as the bouquet celebrates diversity in bloom, this Pinot Noir reflects nuance and layered complexity. Notes of Bing cherry, rhubarb, and baking spice mirror the vibrancy of the arrangement, while its elegant structure keeps everything balanced.
Why it works:
-
Bright floral variety → layered red fruit character
-
Playful color → expressive aromatics
-
Joyful energy → lively acidity
The Classic Mom
Red Roses + Carneros Pinot Noir
Some gifts endure for a reason. Red roses remain timeless, elegant, and deeply symbolic.
Carneros Pinot Noir is the perfect complement. Sourced from our estate vineyards in the Carneros AVA, it reflects cool-climate vibrancy with flavors of pomegranate and red raspberry supported by a fresh core of acidity. The pairing feels refined and intentional, much like the gesture itself.
Why it works:
-
Traditional roses → classic varietal expression
-
Deep red hues → vibrant red fruit notes
-
Enduring style → elegant structure
The Risk-Taking Mom
Unique Florals + Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
If she is the first to embrace something new, consider a more unexpected floral arrangement featuring sculptural blooms and eucalyptus. The aromatic lift and distinctive character mirror her adventurous spirit.
Pair this bouquet with Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Bold yet polished, it delivers depth and structure while maintaining a silky finish. It represents a thoughtful evolution beyond Pinot Noir, showcasing how exploration in the vineyard can lead to compelling results.
Why it works:
-
Distinctive florals → bold varietal character
-
Aromatic eucalyptus → layered complexity
-
Adventurous spirit → structured Cabernet
The Sun-Loving Mom
Sunflowers + Blanc de Noirs Sparkling
For the mother who thrives outdoors, bright sunflowers reflect warmth and optimism. Their golden tones bring light to any table.
Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine enhances the celebration with lively effervescence and notes of white peach, nectarine, Meyer lemon citrus, and orange peel. Subtle brioche and vanilla crème undertones add depth while maintaining freshness. It is equally suited for brunch, picnics, or a leisurely afternoon in the May sunshine.
Why it works:
-
Golden blooms → bright citrus and stone fruit
-
Outdoor gatherings → refreshing bubbles
-
Joyful energy → celebratory sparkle
