This wine is made from an exceptional hillside vineyard located in Bennett Valley, where natural conditions are ideal for growing Syrah. Handcrafted by using classical winemaking techniques of Vallée du Rhone, this wine reveals a complex and spicy bouquet. Named after the famous culinary bundle to honor our first relative who emigrated from France to the USA, Abel Pierre Aimé Coutanceau, who was, by profession, an accomplished chef, it is the ‘Garnished Bouquet’ or ‘Bouquet Garni.’ The vines are grown on a volcanic mélange, clay and rocks on a warm hillside spot in a cool area. Harvest was in October and was done manually. The grapes were sorted first cluster by cluster and then berry by berry. Fermentation was done through native yeast and punch downs were implemented to extract color and tannin. The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak from artisan coopers. The wine was bottled unfiltered.
