Grapes: 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir
James on this wine: “This wine was born as part of my continued exploration of Grenache. I believe the variety is aptly suited for California, and I love the terroir expressiveness ranging from vin de garde to vin de soif wines. Originally a co-ferment of Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc to make a light red wine with some texture, but in 2021 our previously sourced Grenache Blanc was ripped out, so we had to shift to a new source, and overall a new wine. First to Pinot and Sauvignon Blanc in 2021, then towards the traditional Burgundy pair of Chardonnay and Pinot in 2022.”
