Vintage 2021 was a remarkably low-yielding year in many of our prized Mendocino vineyards. As a result, we got über creative, seeking out a few new and incredibly intriguing fruit opportunities, marrying a dizzying array of carbonic reds and whites to support and highlight the Piemontese varieties we’ve all come to know and love with this one. Of course, the vast majority of the blend remains the beloved Fox Hill Vineyard Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo in a carbonic co-ferment. If you’re a die hard Feints lover, fear not. This one is frighteningly fresh bright and altogether Feints through and through. I really hope someone wrote down what we did with this one so we can do it again!
Decanter Magazine: 93 Points
Forget what you think you know about Californian wine. Or maybe even about wine in general. This is pioneering, boundary-pushing stuff and it's the inimitable Evan Lewandowski sailing the ship - alongside a crack team. Sourcing high-quality grapes from a number of vineyards in California, the range of wines is eclectic, but each wine has its own character, and a bit of a cult following. Here we have a co-fermentation of red and white Piedmontese varieties from the Fox Hill Vineyard, which is close to the Russian River. Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, entwined in a carbonic maceration, which spits out this peppy, spicy, juicy, fresh wine that is so drinkable. This particular vintage has a small proportion of fruit from other vineyards, as the 2021 yield was particularly low. Easy breezy cranberry juice and apple skin freshness.
