Paying Homage to his daughter on the label, Gamay was the first red wine James made. “Jubilee Vineyard – farmed organically – was harvested on October 8 – one of my last picks. It was hands down the most beautiful fruit of the vintage. Nestled on the west slope of the Eola-Amity Hills and farmed by Jessica Cortell, this site was spared all the difficulties many other sites had. Fruit was sorted and included 50% stems into open top fermenters. As always, this is fermented with native yeast. A combination of pump-overs and punch-downs, fermentation lasted 17 days. The wine was placed into barrels – one of whichwas new – and cellared for 14 months. The wine was hand-bottled on November 18.”

100% Gamay.
