Eldorado Barsotti Gamay Noir

Beef, Lamb, Veal, Poultry

Grown at high elevation in the beautiful red granitic soils of the Sierra Foothills.

Clusters are left whole and started by carbonic maceration, then eventually crushed by foot and finished whole cluster for skin contact and extraction. Pressed to neutral barrique for a short 6 month elevage and bottled young to preserve delicate aromatics.

Jolie-Laide (pretty-ugly, a term of endearment in French) is the independent label of young-gun duo Scott and Jenny Schultz. Progressive wines and varietals, this Californian micro-negociant are making waves. Unconventional, as the name suggests. They work with a handful of growers, all of whom farm organically (none certified); it is their ability to seek out spectacular vineyard sites which allows them to be hands off in the winemaking process. Scott also works alongside Pax Mahle at Wind Gap wines, one of Sonoma’s (and California’s) most revered wine labels.
