Escolle is located in the northern section of the Santa Lucia Highlands, an 18 mile-long northeast facing bench in the windswept Salinas Valley. The mountainside appellation divides the Santa Lucia mountain range to the west from the Salinas Valley floor to the east. With its incredibly cool climate thanks to nearby Monterey Bay, the pairing of granitic loam and new graftings of Gamay Noir at Escolle is an SLH renaissance.
75% whole cluster and 25% carbonic maceration were utilized, and the wine was aged entirely in neutral oak barrels. Dark ruby in color with a vibrant, almost electric purple hue, rose petal, cracked pepper, savory herbs, and raspberry candy are followed by hints of cured meat, salted plum, and damp earth. Medium light body with bright acid and lithe tannins.
