We don’t always make wines without bubbles, but when we do, we are fortunate enough to work with the incredible Ann Kramer of Shake Ridge Ranch. Grown at approximately 1800 feet of elevation in granitic soils and hand-picked on September 18th, 80% of the fruit was de-stemmed while the additional fruit was added to the fermentation as whole clusters. The wine was drained and pressed to a single 80-gallon barrel and left to age on heavy solids before being bottled in June of 2024 without fining or filtration.
Working with Ann at Shake Ridge is, as the name suggests, winemaking “Therapy.” There have been times when I needed some added motivation/inspiration in my winemaking journey, and Ann has unknowingly provided that to me. Being in the orbit of positive, uplifting, and wise people is truly a privilege. In honor of her generous spirit, 100% of the profits from this wine will be donated to Abode Services in Napa to support their valuable work in operating emergency shelters, providing outreach, housing support, and rental assistance to people in need this holiday season.
