The major part of this wine (88%) came from Kent Ritchie’s poplar vineyard located at the intersection of Eastside and Wohler roads. We completed this blend with smaller amounts from Dempel Vineyards just south of Healdsburg. The wine was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, and was not inoculated for malolactic fermentation. In order to maintain the fruit flavors and crisp acidity, the wine saw no time in barrel.
