The Wines
We believe in releasing wines only when they are ready to drink.
As a result, we may release vintages out of order, depending on the character of the wine.
We are so proud of this wine. Our only year working with Mimi Casteel's Hopewell Vineyard (Willamette Valley, OR) before she sold. We harvested the Pommard clone fruit at what felt like optimal ripeness, but the wine was so firmly tannic we decided to bottle age it until it felt more ready to drink. That moment is now, though the wine will surely improve with further cellaring. Fermented and aged in used puncheons featuring 33% whole cluster. Don't be afraid to give this some air.

We can't fully express how much we love making and drinking this wine -- it's honestly a wonder we have any left! Harvested from Matthew Rorick's dramatic foothills vineyard, this fruit was fermented and aged in used puncheons, and enjoyed 33% whole cluster. A jubilant, vibrant, fresh-fruited wine.

Made because of Kelli's irrational love of Merlot, this wine comes from the famed Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma Valley. It was fermented in bins and aged for a little over a year in used puncheons. Lively on the palate with a bright acidity and soft, floral aromatics. Benefits from a gentle decant.

Nearly touching the San Pablo Bay, the vines for this wine come from the Poseidon Vineyard in Carneros. Originally planted for sparkling, this vineyard makes some wonderfully nervy Chardonnay.
