Fresh red berries, tart red plum and cranberry, with a strong undertone of green olive, clay, and garrigue. The palate starts with pomegranate and raspberry before opening up to smoked hamhocks, dried thyme, and red currants on the finish.

Hand-harvested at night. Upon entering the winery, the grapes were hand-sorted - retaining 100% whole clusters - and placed in a 2-ton lagar. Bunches were foot-stomped to encourage native yeast fermentation, then pumped over twice daily. Post-fermentation, the wine was transferred to neutral puncheons for aging. After 18 months the wine was racked, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Established in the 1970s as the personal home and vineyard of the legendary Chalone pioneer Dick Graff. Sitting on the western slopes of the Gabilan Mountains, the elevations range from 1600’-1900,’ creating a complex topography and extreme diurnal shift. Organically farmed on limestone granite and volcanic soils.
