Location: United States, California, North Coast, Sonoma
Winemaker: Evan Lewandowski
Grapes: Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Montepulciano
Winemaking: Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Arneis were picked simultaneously and evenly distributed amongst numerous tanks. Remaining varieties vinified separately. The grapes went through full carbonic maceration for a duration ~10 days, after which all tanks were foot trodden. There was a short two-day maceration post carbonic, then wine was bladder pressed. Full native malolactic conversion occurred. Feints spent 5 months on lees in stainless, Flextank and old barrel; one racking before blending/bottling. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. One component received a 20ppm SO2 addition after malo, no sulfites at bottling.
From us at M&L: The return of Evan Lewandowski and his much beloved “Feints” is cause for celebration. This is a wine we’ve come to hoard so that we can keep plenty on hand throughout the hotter months. A picnic wine, of there ever was such a thing: energized and juicy with a tingling, herbal vibe that drinks equally well with burgers, impossible burgers, or just sand between your toes.
