Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2022 Fingers Crossed (Faethm) "Life & Death" California White Blend (98JD, (94-96TWI), 96VN, 95RP). Jeb Dunnuck: "Chardonnay-dominated but including 26.9% Roussanne and 3.6% Marsanne, all of which spent 22 months in 85% new oak, the 2022 White Wine Life And Death has a rocking nose of ripe stone fruits, toasted almonds, fresh croissant, and white flowers. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, gorgeously textured, seamless white that has perfect overall balance, a rich, opulent mouthfeel, perfectly integrated acidity and oak, and a finish that won't quit. It is best enjoyed over the coming decade. Drink 2025-2035." (09/2025)

Provenance: Purchased directly from the winery on release and stored in the temperature controlled cellar of a Bay Area collector.

The 2022 White Wine Life and Death (69.5% Chardonnay, 26.9% Roussanne and 3.6% Marsanne) is an opulent, generous white with a distinct phenolic edge that frames its golden-hued fruit. Unbelievably concentrated and powerful, it offers myriad layers of floral, honeyed, deeply pitched character. Chamomile, orange curd, mangosteen, lavender and lemon pith all blossom with air, creating a veritable flower shop of aromas and flavors. Textural intensity and breadth define this singular white, which only gained nuance and dimension over the two days I followed it. This is a very impressive showing. (BN)
