Launching in hard times

Seeing difficult times ahead for independent wineries, we decided to step up and do what we could to help. So we’re launching early with 100% of sales going directly to our producers. This meant keeping things simple and focusing only on what was most important. So stay tuned. Additional features and content will be coming out soon!

Chenin Blanc - 2018
Back to top
A bodyslam of juicy mandarin peel, savory tannins, and texture for days — perhaps the closest you will come to hotboxing Chenin Blanc.

Mike Lucia is a master tinkerer with a natural camp ethos. This wine is perfectly emblematic: he gives the whole Chenin Blanc clusters a carbonic soak, rare in white wine production, highlighting its savory aspects and amplifying complexity. From the organically farmed Heringer Vineyard, which runs along the Clarksburg delta.
