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 93 points on Wine Enthusiast.
