"Coming from an exciting new vineyard Shake Ridge Ranch located in the Sierra Foothills. Anne Kramer manages this vineyard. She is well known for meticulous farming principals matched with a high quality growing site. This vineyard had elevations up to 1750', the vines have a southwest aspect with a 15% slope and are grown on Josephine loam and shist soils.

The grapes were hand-harvested at day break. 100% whole cluster fermentation with native yeast fermentation. Twice daily punch downs. Elevage consisted of a mixture of neutral puncheon and 60-gallon barrels for 9 months

Hugley aromatic and vibrant on the nose with aromas of blueberries, tart raspberries, think spring garden filled with fresh violets and dried rose petals. On the palate, this wine is intensely driven by acid, minerality and finishes with chewy tannins. This wine will age very well and while young it’s still very enjoyable.
