Gamay Sonoma County
United States

2024

100% Gamay sourced from two sites in Sonoma County. Las Cimas Vineyard lies on the northern side of the county, where the vines are northeast-facing and planted in Franciscan soils layered with quartz and schist. The second vineyard is located on the west side of the Fountaingrove AVA—a small sub-AVA south of Chalk Hill in Sonoma County—where the vines grow in well-drained, iron-rich volcanic soils. After harvest, fermentation began with whole-cluster carbonic maceration before the fruit was foot-crushed to complete fermentation in open-top tanks, achieving a balance of vibrant fruit aromatics, depth, and structure. The wine was then pressed to neutral barrique for six months before bottling.
