A very special wine, from the only acre of Grenache Blanc in the Russian River, grafted onto older vines by Sonoma legend, Saralee Kunde, in the vineyard named for her daughter, Catie's Corner.
Picked early to ensure fresh acidity, this special vintage is even brighter and vibrant that our much loved Saarloos Vineyard Grenache Blanc.
Nunerous tasters have commented on the "Chablis like" notes of this wine.
Our first release of Grenache Gris, an almost unknown grey skinned member of the Grenache family from a 105 year old, head trained, sustainably farmed vineyard in Mendocino. Gorgeous color with a slight orange hue, great texture and acidity with a thread of salinity throughout.
Fermented and aged in 20% concrete, 20% stainless steel, and 60% neutral barrel. Showing incredibly well with promise to be the best yet, with intense aromatics, candied ginger and a rich texture and a lingering finish. 13.1% alcohol. 200 cases.
To fully appreciate this wine’s aromas and texture, please serve it at a proper temperature of 52-56 degrees, not over chilled.
Still showing well and bright, but at its peak, we have over hoarded this wine saving it for an event this year we can't have, so selling it at a price to move and consume.
Aged in 20% concrete, 20% stainless steel, and 60% neutral barrel. Vibrant acidity combined with elegant texture & mouthfeel. 12.3% alc.
