Our latest release of our flagship white Rhone blend. Keeping with tradition, the primary variety is Roussanne (45%) blended with 30% Marsanne, 20% Viognier, and 5% Grenache Blanc.
This year's complex blend is only 12.5% alcohol (difficult to achieve in a balanced Roussanne) and is bright and textured, yet aromatic and complex. Bottled aged for 4 years!
Enjoy during dungeness crab season on the west coast, and also pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops and similar fare.
Farmed organically. Native to southern France, the name means ‘lip stinger’ – a naturally high acid white grape perfect for our wine style. This 6 barrel lot was fermented and aged in 50% stainless steel, and 50% neutral puncheon (double sized barrel) for 8 months. Mouthwatering acidity, weight and aromatics. 11.3% alc.
We have been waiting patiently to release this special lot, and now finally in Fall of 2019 it's ready!
This very small lot (only 25 cases) of Syrah from the famed Saralee's Vineyard and Mourvedre from Windsor Oaks Vineyard showcases an elegant, delicate expression of these varieties. Brick red in color, with notes of black cherry and blackcurrant. Pairs well with charcuterie and sharp cheeses. 12.2% alc
Our 3rd release of Vermentino (also known as Rolle in Southern France.) This 6 barrel lot was fermented and aged in 50% stainless steel, and 50% neutral barrel for 6 months. Fresh and gulpable, mouthwatering acidity, and nice weight, texture that belies the low 11.3% alcohol. Organically farmed, no additions save a small amount of sulfur.
Pastoral Rouge is our flagship red Rhône blend, uniquely crafted each year. The grapes of this blend come from a cool microclimate within the Russian River Valley, producing a wine of balance and finesse. The wine is bright and juicy, with notes of red fruits, earth and spice. 50% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 17% Mourvedre
