Mon Frere Description
Aromas of citrus, pear and stone fruit lined with floral notes and a hint of nutmeg and vanilla on the finish. A rich, round mouthfeel with perfectly balanced acidity and minerality followed by a refreshing finish.
This wine is a blend of Coastal Ranches, Lodi Ranches including Mendocino, Lodi and Monterey. The growing sites add layers of ripeness, fruit flavors, and acid structure in this hand-tended fruit.
Grapes were gently whole cluster pressed. The juice was settled off heavy lees and tank fermented. Temperatures were in the 65-72°F degree range. Using Burgundy Isolates yeast, the wine underwent only partial malolactic fermentation in tank. Aged in 100% French oak for 10 months.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
