Chasing Ether White Wine California 2024

For more than 20 years, Jon Berlin quietly shaped some of Napa Valley's most celebrated Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs at El Molino, crafting wines that spoke with a subtle, Burgundian elegance, all within the walls of a winery more than a century old. There, he honed an approach defined by precision, patience, and an unwavering respect for the vineyard, coaxing out nuanced layers of flavor and texture that set El Molino apart. Those years were a master class in restraint and artistry, teaching him to balance power with elegance and to let the vineyard's voice shine through in every bottle.

After decades dedicated to this singular brand, Jon has taken a bold leap with his own project: Chasing Ether. These wines are born from a desire to bottle something beyond flavor—that fleeting, ethereal feeling that comes when people gather over a truly remarkable bottle. It's a philosophy shaped by years of listening to the land, the vines, and the wine itself, and now expressed in wines meant to be shared, savored, and remembered.
