Our favorite seasonal reds are 15% off this week with code FOUR4FALL.

2024 Negroamaro
2023 Vine Starr Zinfandel
2023 Amore Rosso
2023 Sangiovese

It may officially be fall, but the summer weather is lingering. We're reaching for w**es that work with the shifting season: ones you can serve with a slight chill if the afternoon runs warm, but with enough body to hold up once the sun drops and the sweaters come out.

Some cellar updates here in Berkeley. Grapes are all in, and the cycle of punching down, pumping over and pressing is finally winding down this week.

We also say bye to Aiden, one of our harvest interns, who came all the way out from Nebraska Semo Pasta + W**e. Thanks for all the hard work, Aiden 🤍

An early harvest means we’re already onto the next things - disgorging and Nouveau ahead. Stay tuned.

Carbonic Souzao from foxhillvineyard 🍇

Souzao is a Portuguese grape with a naturally inky color, bright acidity, and lots of fresh juicy and savory fruit.

Chris and Diana dug out the whole clusters from one of our concrete tanks, then we gently pressed the juice to finish fermenting and developing in one of our sandstone jarre and a stainless tank.

This is our first time making carbonic Souzao from Fox Hill. We typically make it into rosé, but wanted to explore what it could do as a fresh, light red this year. We think you’re going to love it and can’t wait to share it with you next year🍷

We’re so excited to share our new w**e collaboration with Berkeley design legend Erica Tanov | Lifestyle Brand and our very own artist Marta Elise Johansen.

Marta’s hand drawn work is on view at Erica Tanov | Lifestyle Brand’s atelier on 5th St in Berkeley through the end of the month. There are still a few pieces available, and our collaboration white w**e is being poured alongside the show.

If you’re in Berkeley, go see the work and have a glass while you’re there. It’s a special little pairing, and the show won’t be up for much longer. The atelier is a magical place to visit 💙

The w**e is also available on our site, select local pickup if you’re nearby.

Last grapes are in from foxhillvineyard 🍇

Montepulciano came in strong and beautiful. We make most of it as a delicious whole cluster rosato, with a little bit destemmed for a fresher, secret weapon red for blending.

And just like that… harvest is over at the vineyard, with olives still ahead. We still can’t believe how early this one started, and now coming to an end. The fruit this vintage was some of the best we’ve seen. Lighter in volume, but beautiful clusters with a nice balance of fruit and acidity.

We’ll have lots more to share in the coming months, including our Nouveau blending next month.

Stay tuned 🤍
