Vineyard Notes: Camino Alto Vineyard is farmed by Ron Mansfield who oversees the vineyards of some of the best wineries in the foothills. His family has been growing grapes, peaches, plums, pears & apples in the foothills for 3 generations. Planted in 1983 with Rhone varieties, the vineyard is on a hillside near Apple Hill. It is on iron-rich volcanic soils & is mostly dry-farmed.
Cellar Notes: We received 3.5 tons of fruit from different areas of Mansfield’s property - 2 tons of Grenache, 1 ton of Mourvedre, & 0.5 ton of Syrah - hand-harvested on 9/3/19. The fruit was destemmed proportionally into 1-ton bins to create a field blend & left to ferment naturally. Once dry, we pressed the wine & racked to neutral barrel. This wine was bottled unfiltered in May 2021.
Tasting Notes: The aromatics are complex & intense, with strawberry, dried flowers, blood orange, cedar & an iron-rich backbone. The palate is racy & floral, with roses, baking spice, dried mushroom & smooth tannins.
