- Tasting notes
-
Soft and supple, the wine tastes like wild strawberry, violet, hibiscus, savory sage, cassis, and boysenberry. It’s a pure joyful expression of old-vine, California Zin.
Production

The Matern vineyard is in the Talmage Bench area of Mendocino. It was planted in the 1930’s on gravelly loam soil. The old vines are both head-trained and dry-farmed by the Matern family who live on the property. The vineyard is cerfied CCOF Organic and Demeter Biodynamic.
- Vinification
-
We hand-picked the vineyard when the grapes had ripened to a potential of 13% alcohol and destemmed them into a stainless-steel tank. We allowed the fermentation to happen naturally with native yeast and maintain a temperature around 85 degrees. When fermentation was complete, we pressed the grapes into neutral French oak where it went through malolactic. We bottled after 12 months.
Aging: 12 Months
