A brand new wine for Jolie-Laide, several years in the making. This is a new planting at an exciting vineyard in Sonoma County of heightened exposure to the elements and complex Franciscan soils. The superlative nature of this site is transparent in the depth and intensity of this wine. An ancient variety hailing from the mountainous alpine Savoie region, East of Burgundy in France. A distant relative, Mondeuse can share some of the more feral, floral, spice and game elements found in Syrah, with a cranberry brightness. Crushed by foot and naturally fermented all whole cluster and aged in neutral barrique.
