Earth is a tricky mother. Air carries all manner of agents of fermentation. Time is simultaneously a friend and foe. These are the fine lines danced around with this wine. Bright cherry and soft white pepper are counter-balanced by heady yeast and a bit of secondary fermentation. As much a wine of place as it is, for better or worse, of non-interventionist intent. Principles often have caveats. Personally, I enjoy it for its success as well as its “faults”, though I can understand how others may not agree. #noninterventionist #earthdowhatshedo #nativeyeasts #trousseau #californiawine #sanbenito
