"This 2021 Gamay Noir is sourced from the west Sta Rita Hills. We are truly inspired by the quality of wine coming out of the Sta. Rita Hills. We attribute such quality to the transverse valley that funnels wind west to east from the Pacific Ocean. While frosts can be problematic here, cool nights increase the acidity and freshness. This Gamay is 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. This vineyard is farmed organically. This wine was made using 100% whole clusters under complete carbonic conditions. The wine fermented spontaneously with native yeast and was aged in neutral oak for 6 months. Unfined and unfiltered. Please expect some solids in the bottle especially with age. 49 cases produced." - Winemaker Notes
