A homage to Jura blends, this wine is bright with acidity with a hint cherry and wet concrete on the nose. Drink now chilled or age for up to 7 years. (Pictured to the right is the fruit co-fermenting together post crush.

All grapes were organically farmed and harvested from Silleto Family Vineyards. 59% Calera Clone Pinot Noir was harvested at 22.5 Brix along with, 38% Trousseau Noir 23 Brix (French Clone not the Cab Pfeffer clone he also grows) and 3% Viognier at 24 Brix. The fruit was brought in at 55 degrees and destemmed together in open-top fermenters getting 3 punch downs a day until native fermentation started. Then twice daily until dry and pressed after 12 days. Wines were racked into 3-year-old French oak barrels for four months where they underwent full malolactic fermentation. Bottled with just 25ppm free SO2.
