We’ve got 2 new new Rare ones to release into the wild before this year comes to a close. The final saga of Zinny Man and our very first Cabernet! Half the proceeds from our Cab will be going to @norcal_resist who provides direct assistance to undocumented and migrant families. These people are the backbone of the wine industry and have been the hardest hit by covid and wildfires. Get 50% off ground shipping if you order 3+ bottles of any of our wines. Much love and light to you all!!! label art: @tommytreatzz

You may remember we released the 2014 Sogni Della Speccia Sangiovese last year. We had passed over the 2013, it just didn’t seem ready. Earlier this year we revisited it on a whim, cracked one open and our minds were blown . Then in August, the Shale Peak Vineyard where this Sangiovese is grown, was lost to the LNU Complex fire. A true Rare one, a library selection, a knockout. Don’t miss it. : @emmakmorris

HOPE YOU HAVE A GRAPE DAY Sending love to you all from the limestone-y slopes of Rorick Heritage Vineyard. Don’t forget to VOTE! Xoxoxo : @emmakmorris

End of harvest celebratory wild pig roast.

Only one barrel of this baddie - no sulfur Barbera from our limestone-y slopes. Grab the sulfured sister, San Hercurmer delle Frecce and try them side by side. : @emmakmorris

BIG VERM ENERGY We are very much in a love affair with this Vermentino - she’s giving us salty cured meat, promiscuous stone fruit and a slap of tropical vacation. Sooooo happy we grafted this into the vineyard because she’s a winner, baby! Get yours now on our website (or get in the wine club), only 111 cases made. : @emmakmorris

Diggin’ it. Try the freshhhh 2019 Dragone Ramato (skin-fermented Pinot Gris), live on our site now.

It’s been really, really hard to talk about selling wine this year with all of the tragedy, injustices, fires, pandemic...but, we made wine we love and here they are if you’d like to bring some home. Most importantly if you are able to donate money to help with wildfire disaster relief, specifically to the amazing farm and vineyard workers here in Napa/Sonoma area, please check out these organizations: @napavalleycf, @nv_farmworkerfoundation, @corazonhealdsburg (if you have more suggestions please holler!). Much, much love to all of you out there. : @emmakmorris / styling assist: @girlgonevine
