Issamu Kamide and Andrew Lardy, two high school friends seeking new directions in fermentation. They live in LA and make wines from all over California. They ride the wavelength from low- intervention to high-innovation, making collaborative ideas come to life in funky new ways.

Free Your Soul returns for its second vintage exploring new directions in Petite Sirah. The grape is an undeniable fit in the state of California, though often relegrated to a ripe, heavily-extracted style. We pick our Petite Sirah early, with high acidity and moderate sugar accumulation. We've brought some 2020 Cab Franc to the blend for texture and sophistication and finished the wine with a splash of Riesling for aromatic flair. The result is a Petite with verve and polish - a wine more redolent of fresh blackberries than jam, with hints of cacao, earl grey, and gravel. - Winemakers
