Our celebrated Vermentino from our certified sustainable Las Brisas Vineyard in southern Sonoma's Carneros AVA and from our certified sustainable Mahoney Ranch Vineyard in southern Napa's Carneros AVA more info...
These grapes come from a part of Mahoney Ranch we call Gavin Vineyard, on the eastern slopes of the Carneros region. The acacia wood adds a vividness to the golden hue in the wine, along with delicate floral and honey-like aromas, but perhaps its greatest contribution is the rich and satisfying texture and length of the flavors.
This wine is a mix of three Pinot Noir clones from our Las Brisas Vineyard. Pinot grown here displays cherry and strawberry fruit characters with a hint of peppercorn. The cherry head barrel seemed to concentrate these aromas and give the wine a deeper burgundy hue, deeper flavors, and richer texture compared to pure oak barrels.
