In honor of Lew Platt we are grateful to have the opportunity to work with proprietor Joan Platt, viticulturist Daniel Roberts, and the fruit from this rugged vineyard above the Sonoma coastline. The two-acre block nestled within a clos yields petite clusters full of finesse and exuberance. Organic farming and precision viticulture set the stage for this unique wine. Like the berries themselves, our debut release from 2011 is a tiny and elegant two barrels.


This undoubtedly unique wine shows alluring shades of garnet and vermillion. With one quick swirl a full bouquet of violets and spring flowers emerge from the glass, twisting with notes of citrus oil and fresh fennel fronds. This enticing wine lures you deeper with a lush entrance filled with blueberries, rhubarb and shiitake mushroom. This brief melee between fruit and earth resolves itself with refined tannins and mouth watering acidity. Miniscule yields for this first offering have produced a seductive young wine setting the stage for vintages to come.
