Jolie-Laide Grenache Mourvedre Syrah North Coast 2021 750ml

The North Coast GSM is a blend of three distinct yet complimentary terroirs in Northern California. From Sonoma, we source Syrah grapes grown on ridged and rocky terrain. Just north of Sonoma, in the Yorkville Highlands, we gather Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes from the Hawk’s Butte vineyard benefiting from its high elevation and proximity to the coast. Continuing further north to Mendocino, we find the Alder Springs Vineyard, where the coastal influences, diverse microclimates, varying altitudes, and steep slopes provide an ideal environment for Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre to flourish. As each site brings its own distinct characteristics to the blend, the playful dance between them is united in this vibrant, concentrated, and textured expression of cool climate Rhone inspired blend. The grapes are foot stomped, and whole clusters are used during fermentation. We rely on native yeasts to carry out the fermentation process before the wine is aged in neutral puncheons and barrique. Each vineyard was fermented individually and blended prior to bottling.
