Lush blue fruits, plum and delicate spice, enveloped by graceful tannins echoing the timeless blends of France’s Rhône Valley.
Grapes are foot stomped, and whole clusters are used during fermentation. Native yeast fermented and aged in neutral puncheons and barrique. Each vineyard was fermented individually and blended prior to bottling.
The North Coast GSM is a blend of three distinct yet complimentary terroirs in Northern California. From Sonoma, Syrah grapes grown on ridged and rocky terrain are sourced. Just north of Sonoma, in the Yorkville Highlands Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre grapes are gathered from the Hawk’s Butte Vineyard. And in Mendocino, more Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre are sourced from Alder Springs Vineyard.
