Nose

Impressions | a wine as mad as the Sirocco, complex as a lover's words, dramatically bright as Van Gogh, unfathomable as your soul.

Growing Conditions

Nutrient-deficient sandy soils cause the vines to struggle, yielding wines with greater concentration, and intense aromatics. South-facing slope. Proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Excellent, even growing season. Small yields and intense berries.

Winemaking

Minimum skin contact, slow fermentation in a cooled, jacketed tank.

Aging

Aged sur lie with battonage for 5 months in neutral french oak

Food Pairing

the perfect wine for smorgasbord! Pairs exuberantly across the board. Oysters with orange mignonette, meat dishes with fruit, chicken tikka masala, bbq fare, duck mole!

LXV flavor Pairing | “A Foil” - apple, apricot, hibiscus, cranberry, orange peel, honey, nutmeg

Honeycomb, citrus blossom, slate, vibrant minerality with a pleasant acidity, including time notes of Elberta peach, ripe melon, and toasted brioche. Kept on the fermentation lees in barrel for eight months with regular barrel stirring prior to racking and bottling in order to grasp a full, round texture and mouthfeel, ensuring enough complexity and layering to stand up to the heartiest pairings.
