Shared Notes Wines
Shared Notes is a homage to Sauvignon Blanc and the white wines of Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. Wife and husband Bibiana González Rave and Jeff Pisoni harness their experience and vision to create innovative wines that stand out from other US Sauvignon Blancs.
The Shared Notes project is a joint venture between Bibiana González Rave and her husband Jeff Pisoni, both of whom discovered their passion for wine at an early age. Jeff, who is the second-generation winemaker at Pisoni Estate, learned his craft at various properties in Sonoma County. Bibiana attended university in France, where she also gained experience at a number of top estates before moving to California and setting up her Cattleya Wines label. The couple married in 2012, the year that also marked the first Shared Notes vintage that they produced and released together.
Sauvignon Blanc inspired by Bordeaux and the Loire Valley
Bibiana and Jeff make two Sauvignon Blancs. Both are a tribute to the white wines of Bordeaux and the Loire Valley, albeit they are made from Russian River Valley fruit. Bibiana and Jeff work together to harness their respective experiences, personalities and visions as well as their love of high-quality small-batch wines, producing Sauvignon Blancs that excel in the US context on account of their daring, bold, innovative style.

California
California is the biggest and best-known viticultural region in North America. The Golden State’s sunny, Pacific-influenced climate produces wines of unique character. Many top Californian Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons enjoy a considerable following in Europe but are only available in limited quantities.
