On the river bench of Somona County’s Russian River, this vineyard benefits from Goldridge soil containing metamorphic rock. The cuttings come from the Old Wente field selection, renowned for excellent quality and minerality. Its concentration originates from the typically petite size of the berries. Handcrafted using classical Burgundian techniques, this wine is dedicated to Luc and Jodie’s daughter, Claire Morlet. It is ‘My Princess’ or ‘Ma Princesse.’
Winemaker notes:
Straw yellow color with aromas of lemon drop, Reinette apple skin and fresh herbs (chamomile). Full-bodied and concentrated, ‘Ma Princesse’ consistently displays a creamy and rich texture which coats the palate for a very long time. Built to age gracefully for over a decade, this wine will gain being cellared for six months to a year before starting to reveal itself.
