The soil is flat, but well drained due to the presence of underlying gravel from an old creek bed. In our cold coastal climate it takes a long time to reach ripeness, and even at full sugar the fruit is still crisp and has a very fresh flavor. Like all of our vineyards we farm this block sustainably in order to protect the soil and water, our primary assets. This has the added benefit of making the vineyards a healthy environment for ourselves and our workers. Winemaking Notes The trick with Grenache in a cool climate like the Edna Valley is not so much winemaking technique as having the patience to let this late varietal ripen. We often wait a week or more after every thing else has been picked to bring these grapes into the winery. Color is hard to get from this wine. So, a cold soak is used in combination with a relatively long warm fermentation in small open topped fermenters. Only a small amount of oak flavor can be used without obscuring the typical high toned aromatics of the wine. The wine was bottled after one year of barrel age. Tasting Notes he most unique aspect of this wine is its beautiful aroma. There is a fruit note that is an intriguing combination of floral and citrus. The citrus notes remind me of candied grapefruit and the floral tones are akin to dried lavender. The mouth is sweet with fruit and fine tannins. The mid palate tastes of marmalade and there is a pleasant flintiness in the finish.
