This is a wine on the absolute cutting edge of what is being produced in California. This is a natural wine made with organic grapes from a vineyard planted in 1948. Impeccable structure highlights this 100% Carignane that was made in a decidedly different style than most California wines. Make sure to bring this wine to cellar temperature (20 minutes in the fridge), then give it time to breathe, and you'll be rewarded with bright fruit, old world earthiness, and structure that would make any chef yearn to pair this wine with food. This wine will continue to soften up as it continues to breathe and rises in temperature. A great effort from Populis Wines.
Diego and Shaunt have one of the most unique winery setups in the country, if not the world. Tucked into the hills above Orinda, which is just a few minutes outside of Oakland, this duo crafts their flagship natural wines in the raised basement of Shaunt’s family home. That’s right, they lifted the house to make sure the cellar (er...basement) had room for their barrel stacks. It’s a true bootstrap operation but one that has yielded incredible wines beloved by natural wine enthusiasts.
