Vintage: 2019
Region: El Dorado, California, United States
Viticulture: Biodynamic
Grape varieties: 100% Gamay

Grown at high elevation in the beautiful red granitic soils of the Sierra Foothills. Picked in two separate passes, one early and one a bit later makes for a wine a bit riper and fleshed out than in years passed. The clusters are left whole and started by carbonic maceration, which lends its distinctive high tone appeal, then eventually crushed by foot and finished whole cluster for skin contact and extraction. Light, fresh, and utterly charming. Wild strawberry and summer herbs with cranberry tartness.

Song: Pretty(Ugly Before) by Elliot Smith
