Vineyard:

Sourced entirely from our Marina Ranch in the Livermore Valley, these grapes were ultra-farmed, handpicked into half-ton bins, and hand sorted in order to ensure premium quality. The grapes were gently crushed into stainless steel tanks and pumped over twice daily in order to maximize color and tannin extraction until primary fermentation was completed prior to moving into barrel”.

The Grenache was aged in neutral oak for 10 months.  The Syrah was aged for 13 months in French, American, Eastern European, and neutral oak.  The Counoise was aged for 12 months in French, American, Eastern European, and neutral oak.
