An intriguing blend of Trousseau Noir, Cabernet Pfeffer, Valdiguie and Gamay. Partial carbonic maceration, whole cluster fermentation. A delicate, lean, spicy red from talented winemaker Scott Schultz.
From 40-year-old Trousseau vines planted at Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard in Sonoma County. Some skin contact results in a rosy hue. A floral, savoury wine showing flavours of melon and tea, made by the talented Scott Schultz.
Foot-trodden, whole cluster fermented Syrah, aged 10 months in neutral French oak. The fruit comes from several famous high elevation North Coast vineyards. Winemaker Scott Schultz has created a dense, wild, fresh expression of Syrah here, showing notes of blackberries, violets and cedar.
Inspired by the fresh red wines of the French Alps, this blend of Trousseau (42%), Cabernet Pfeffer (20%), Gamay (30%), and Poulsard (8%) shows a lean, snappy style, the result of partial carbonic and whole cluster fermentation in tank, with aging in neutral oak. Delicate but complex at only 11.6% abv. A different side of Sonoma.
