    Overview

    "Coteaux Sauvages", wild hills, is what we call this wine that is packed with concentrated flavors that was produced from grapes grown in the red soil at the uppermost edges of our estate.

    About This Wine

    Big and powerful, this would most wisely be enjoyed with food such as cassoulet, beef stew, french onion soup, braised beef shortribs or Moraccan Lamb barbeque.

    Vineyard Notes

    This "Coteaux Sauvages" expresses the concentrated "sauvage" flavors that are produced from grapes grown in the red soil at the uppermost edges of our estate.  The Syrah, Zinfandel, and Petite Sirah are all from hillside blocks where the light soils allow the vines to make grapes of distinctive concentration.

    Harvest:  Sept 13th to Oct 3rd, 2016

    Production Notes

    Fermentation:  The grapes were crushed into small fermenters.  After cold-soaking for three days to extract deep color, the must fermented on the skins for three weeks to obtain a richly extracted wine.

    Cooperage / Aging:  The wine was aged for 22 months in tight-grained French oak barrels (40% new). 

    Bottling Date:  August 14, 2018

     

    Production: 216 Cases
