Gamay, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir

An assemblage of three separate varietals and vineyards. The Gamay (Sonoma) was vinified 100% carbonically and pressed after 21 days in tank. The Trousseau (Tres Pinos) was de-stemmed, and fermented in stainless steel, before being moved to neutral oak for aging. The pinot (Napa) was foot tread and left on the skins for two days before being pressed and moved to neutral oak for fermentation.

All similar approaches in the vineyard. Trellised vines with alternating row tillage and deficit irrigation. The Lovall Valley & San Benito sites experience cooler nights and extended fog in the morning, whereas the gamay in Sonoma experiences more extended sunlight.

Bottled unfined, unfiltered.

Red Blend

An assemblage of three separate varietals and vineyards. The Gamay was vinified 100% carbonically and brings a bright juicy element. The Trousseau was de-stemmed, and fermented in stainless steel and adds a heady, earthy complexity. The pinot was de-stemmed and fermented dry in stainless steel before being moved to neutral oak. It plays the role of mediator, and ties the blend together.
