Our grapes are sourced from the Mariola Ridge Vineyard – a steep, cool, hillside site located outside of Sebastopol, in the Sonoma Coast AVA.
Grapes are hand harvested at night, 100% whole cluster, gently pressed, cold-settled, then racked for fermentation in 50% new, primarily François Frères French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation in barrel, aged sur lie with bâtonage for 18 months.
Past bottling have consistently scored 91 points and above on Wine Enthusiast and Decanter.
