Our 2022 Righteous is a wine that was produced with the

Right Bank Bordeaux style in mind. This wine is a Merlot

dominant blend and showcases the rich elegance of one of

our favorite varietals.

The Merlot grapes are from the Hanson Ridge Vineyard

while the Cabernet Franc grapes were chosen from the

Steele Vineyard located north of Napa in Lake County.

Each of these vineyards is expertly farmed using

sustainable farming practices.

The grapes were fermented separately in small lots at cool

temperatures. This cooler method creates a longer

fermentation that accentuates the fruit flavors while

adding complexity. To avoid extraction of harsh tannins,

no pumps were used until after the wine was pressed off

the skins. The bins were hand-punched daily and gently

stirred.

Harvest Date: 9/28/2022 Cabernet Franc, the Merlot

10/12/2022.
