2023 Matthiasson Yountmill Vineyard Pinot Meunier, Napa Valley, USA

The Yount Mill Vineyard was one of the first certified organic vineyards in Napa Valley they never stopped farming organically back in the post-war period when folks started using the new-fangled chemicals. Located in deep soil near the Napa River, the vines are mostly dry-farmed, and tended with minimal intervention they are allowed to grow a little wild. The cool winds are drawn up the valley over the vineyard, allowing white grapes to maintain their vibrant freshness.
