Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Planted by Rich & Zoe McClellan in 2006, 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean at an elevation of 1400 feet on Vista coarse sandy loam soils. The vsp trellised rows are oriented east-west with 9' X 6' spacing.
Production Notes
The clusters were sorted and loaded into the press from which the juice went into a stainless tank to cold settled for 3 days. Primary fermentation took place without inoculation after being racked to a new acacia barrel and neutral French oak barrels. The wine was aged on gross lees for 14 months before racking for bottling.
