TASTING NOTES
Honeysuckle, candied ginger, and peach aromatics are backed by pineapple, golden kiwi, and orange blossom. Vintage characteristics of green cantaloupe flesh, Runts, and an indescribable combo of briny, basil, ocean spray. The palate is spherical with a fluffy center.
VINEYARD NOTES
Grafted over in 2011, we have 1 acre of Viognier in our Estate Vineyard. This is our only non-approved Châteauneuf-du- Pape varietal as Viognier is tied to the Northern Rhone. While the Mokelumne River AVA can have hot days, cool night time Delta breezes help us retain acidity while also providing an excellent balance of fruit.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Everything is hand-picked, hand-sorted, and whole cluster pressed. We harvest in the early morning to capture vital acidity that provides vibrancy to the wine. Fermented cool in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve pure fruit expressions. Sur lie aging with twice weekly bâtonnage (more than we’ve ever done in the past) that provides a rounder, fuller mid-palate.
