Wild Thing Viognier (Placer County, Sustainable)

High up in the Sierra Nevada, in the California Gold Country town of Auburn lies this gem of a vineyard of Viognier, planted and managed by the father and son team of John and Joe Damiano.  When picked just a bit less ripe than many California Viogniers, the fruit expresses lively citrus and gentle white flower aromatics, while barrel fermentation in mostly older French oak barrels leads to a wine of perfect structure and creamy-crispy balance

Wild Thing Zinfandel (Mendocino, Organic)

Old Vine Mendocino Zinfandel is a treasure. Grown on the benchlands and slopes of mountainsides — this 60 plus year old vine Zinfandel was named for these wild- looking vines and also for the uninoculated, or “wild,” yeast ferment that was used to create it.  It takes a lot of effort to tame this wild fruit, but it is worth all the trouble. Wild Thing is dangerously good! Remember – you are what you drink ….

From one of the regions autochthonous varieties.  Destemmed, macerated in stainless, followed by fermentation and about 5 months rest in tank before clarifying and bottling.  A lovely example of Ribolla, bright and lively with great fruit and crisp acidity.

Cabernet Franc: Harvested at peak phenolic ripeness then destemmed and vinified in stainless for both the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.  Elevage in stainless before bottling.  Rich and snappy with the classic capsicum notes that indicate it’s Sauv Blanc parentage.
