This Tannat is from the impeccably farmed Alder Springs vineyard in the town of Laytonville in Mendocino County. This block is quite young, but planted at elevation of 2,300 ft on a steep, southern slope of decomposed sandstone. The combination of elevation and distance from the coast creates a cool climate with enough hang time to fully ripen Tannat.
Native yeast fermentation in concrete • pumped over and punched down for 14 days • Wine was then moved to neutral barriques • No fine or filtering • 13% ABV • 8 Barrels produced
