| The Cabernet Sauvignon is hand-picked at about 10° alcohol. The free run juice (saignée) is sent to an airtight stainless steel tank where it ferments on it own with nothing added to it -- no dosage, no liquor, no gas, no sugar, no yeast. This single fermentation is referred to as Method Charmat. While similar to Petillant Natural, the difference is that the fermentation does not take place in bottle. |
|

| Sashi Moorman has been working with Santa Barbara County Syrah since 1996. It was a dream to come to California and make wine and it was with great luck that he landed his first job in the wine industry with Adam Tolmach's as the assistant winemaker at The Ojai Vineyard. The beautiful syrahs he was able to help produce with Adam set him on the journey to discover the limits of classically styled and terroir-driven syrahs in California. 2012 was a beautiful year for syrah - good yield and great quality of fruit. As a result, we were able to make delicious and compelling wines. Fruit forward nose gives way to some feminine high notes, while in the mouth there is energy, uplift, and definition - a Syrah of great typicity from one of California's best appellation for classically styled wines. 400 cases. |
