This wine is made of three different gamay clones from both Martian Ranch Vineyard and Shokrian Vineyard in Los Alamos, CA. Martian Ranch is Demeter certified biodynamic, and Shokrian Vineyard has been farmed organically for many years. We’ve been working with these sites for several years now and feel that uniting them together in one wine highlights the best expression of both! Both of these vineyards appear sandy at the surface, but there is a rich loamy clay about 3 feet below the surface in pockets of these blocks.

Tasting Notes

2024 Gamay has the freshness of the new world, and the structure of an edgy old world Gamay. Like when you bite into a ripe Satsuma plum - lush sweetness, a little acid, and some tannin. She’s briny and delightfully herbal. Perfect now, perfect in many, many years down the road.

  • about the label

    Art: The Darner dragonfly surrounded by its flowers of choice were painted by my brilliant mother, Eileen Anderson. The dragonflies are an integral part of the ecosystem as they prey on smaller invertebrates like mosquitos. At the same time they become food for birds and bats in the vineyard. The family of California quail, Callipepla californica, on the back are painted by me. The quail families run around the vineyard and surrounding bushes in spring and summertime and bring a delightful energy to the vineyard.
