Tandem
Tandem produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from California vineyards, with a focus on single-vineyard expressions. The Hellenthal Vineyard Pinot Noir and Kent Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay represent the winery's core offerings, both rated highly by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Chris Lee Vineyard Pinot Noir rounds out a portfolio centered on these two classic varietals. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive in California's cooler regions, where maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings encourage complexity and balance. Tandem's vineyard-designated approach emphasizes the distinct character of each site, allowing the natural expression of terroir through careful winemaking. The winery's selection by major critics reflects the quality and consistency of its releases.
