Production Details The wine was aged for 18 months in François Frères French oak barrels, 50% new. The technical sheet prints residual sugar as “<0” without a unit; this non-exact, uninterpretable value is retained here rather than normalized as residual_sugar_gl. The fruit came from a 250-acre vineyard planted by Richard Sanford in 2000 and described by the producer as California Certified Organically Farmed.
