2025 Martha Stoumen "Patatino" California Red Wine

Vinification Notes: All varieties kept whole cluster and fermented separately in sealed tanks (carbonic maceration) before pressing. A small portion of the Valdiguié was co-fermented with Carignan and white Colombard grapes. Each lot completed fermentation in stainless steel tanks and was then aged for 6-18 months in neutral oak barrique and neutral vessels. Unfined. Unfiltered. Sediment expected.

Vineyard: Carignan, Colombard, Valdiguié from Ricetti Vineyard, Redwood Valley, Mendocino County; head trained vines planted in 1948, respectively; dry farmed (non-irrigated), certified organic vineyard; gravelly loam soils. Petite Sirah from Bricarelli Ranch, Ukiah, Mendocino County; head trained vines planted in 2008; dry farmed (non-irrigated) vineyard, farmed by us to organic principles (no pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers); gravelly loam soils.
