Description

This exceptional Rhone-style white, made from 100% Marsanne by Phil Coturri, is filled with nuance and elegance, right down to the label, designed by acclaimed artist Stanley Mouse. Soft gold in the glass, the wine opens with hints of peach, lemongrass, ripe apple, and honeysuckle. Bright and fresh, it washes over the palate with notes of orchard fruit and apricot, backed savory herbs and fine minerality on the back end. This wine rocks, to put it simply, and is a beautiful addition to any meal. Only 400cs produced.

If you ask him, Phil Coturri might quote a Levon Helm song and describe himself as a “poor old dirt farmer”. However, after 35 years pioneering organic and biodynamic winegrowing in California, descriptions range from “famed organic viticulturalist” by the Hollywood Reporter to “the ubiquitous wizard of sustainable winemaking” by Sonoma Magazine. He was born with the cultural palate of Italian immigrants, weaned on the music and ethos of San Francisco in the 1960’s and planted deep into the rocky hillsides of Sonoma Valley.
