The vineyard is 2,000ft elevation above Ukiah and the grapes are 40+ year old vines. The soil is decomposed sandstone with veins of “timber red” loams and upland pasture soil types. 50% of the fruit was foot tread before loading into the Champagne press. They were pressed with a champagne cycle and just the cuvee fraction was used. The wine was aged for 6 months in bottle and then riddled and disgorged with no dosage. 250 cases produced.
