Jasmine tea, pear, fennel, and lemon balm are all aromatic highlights. The palate has a powerful phenolic core yet also a lightness like fresh rain. The finish is bright with acidity and a pleasant hint of almond bitterness.

The wine is fermented via native yeast in stainless steel after a whole cluster pressing. Secondary fermentation and aging for four months in neutral oak on lees adds texture and complexity that are counterbalanced by being sure to pick while the acidity is still racy and pure.

Lost Hills Ranch sits on a lonely ridge in the Yorkville Highlands. Located near the southwest corner of Mendocino County. At 1500 feet of elevation, the soils are comprised of deep fractured sandstone with veins of schist. The vine roots work hard to push deep into the rock, and in turn, a powerful core can be found in the fruit grown here. Holistic and organic practices ensure a healthy site for now and for future generations to come.
