"We began making Trousseau in 2009, when we discovered the variety growing at the Luchsinger Vineyard, situated at 1,400’ elevation in the Big Valley AVA of Lake County. The vines here are planted in rocky volcanic alluvium on the remains of an ancient riverbed, and Trousseau thrives in the warm days and cool nights characteristic of this area. We appreciate this unique variety for its ability to make a wine that is light in color but packed with flavor, and we feel it is an extremely versatile wine that will pair well with a wide variety of foods and occasions.
This wine is a blend from three Trousseau vineyards in the North Coast--Luchsinger, Boham and Bartolomei. Volcanic/gravelly loam soils. Native yeasts used for both primary and secondary fermentations. All of the lots were fermented 100% whole cluster and the wine was aged for 11 months in a combination of neutral French oak barrels, puncheons and foudre.
A pale, light-bodied wine with concentrated aromas of cranberry, raspberry, licorice, smoke, and cloves, with a crunchy, acid-driven palate."
