$37.99

This 2021 Gamay Noir is sourced from the west  Sta Rita Hills. The quality of wine coming out of the Sta. Rita Hills truly inspires. We attribute such quality to the transverse valley that funnels wind west to east from the Pacific Ocean. While spring frosts can be problematic, the cool, wet ocean air promotes freshness in this Gamay Noir. The vines are grown using organic practices on marine sedimentary rock with elevated calcium and silica content. This vineyard in particular has extremely high levels of chalk and diatomaceous earth.

We produce this wine using 100% whole clusters under complete carbonic conditions. The wine ferments spontaneously with native yeast and then ages in neutral oak barrels for 6 months. 

This Gamay shows deep fuchsia in the glass with an aroma resplendent of the color. Sweet earthy petrichor on the nose, along with notes of black currant and red plum. Subtleties of vanilla, baking spice, and black tea on the tongue. Pairs well with great company on an afternoon for savoring. We made this wine thoughtfully to show itself best with age. Enjoy now or cellar for savoring at its peak.
