Production Details Old-vine, dry-farmed, head-trained fruit was hand-harvested from three Mendocino ranches. The sheet presents overlapping fermentation descriptions: its VINIFICATION section says multiple methods were employed, including whole-cluster and true carbonic fermentation, while its NOTES section calls the treatment 100% carbonic maceration. The tanks were foot-tread; still-fermenting juice was pressed from the skins and transferred to barrel sweet. Lots matured separately in neutral-oak barrels and stainless steel for 10 months before blending and bottling unfined and unfiltered. Production was 872 cases; vineyard yield was 3 tons/acre and harvest Brix ranged from 21 to 22.5°Bx.
Tasting Notes Blackberry, tar, lilac, black currant, purple basil, and Fun Dip
Food Pairing Kimchi hot dog, tacos al pastor, and paella

Production Details Fruit was hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, then fermented in open-top tanks with light cap management and in T-bins beneath submerged caps. After pressing, lots matured separately in neutral-oak barriques, neutral-oak puncheons, and stainless steel for 10 months. Production was 1,479 cases and vineyard yield was reported as 1-3 tons/acre.

Production Details Fruit was hand-harvested in mid-October and fermented using open-top tanks with light cap maintenance and T-bins beneath submerged caps; the NOTES also mention closed-top fermentation. After pressing, lots matured separately in neutral-oak barriques, neutral-oak puncheons, and stainless steel for seven months before blending and bottling.
