Vineyard Notes: The Heringers have been farming in Clarksburg since 1868. In the early 1970’s they were one of the first to plant vineyards on their property, pioneering the Clarksburg AVA. Now in their 7th generation, they grow many grape varieties in many locations in the Sacramento River delta, all farmed sustainably.
Cellar Notes: We received hand-harvested fruit afte a nightime harvest. We destemmed to bins for native fermentation. After fermentation, we pressed & racked to neutral barrels. The wine was bottled unfiltered & with minimal sulfur addition in February 2024.
Tasting Notes: The nose is redolent of rich fruits & spice - plum, dark cherries, Medjool dates, green peppercorn, clove. On the palate the flavors are concentrated & earthy, with cherry cola, iron & leather. The tannins are very fine & smooth & the finish is graceful & mellow.
