Bruella Ranch, farmed by the Spaletta family just east of Lodi, is an ideal site to grow this southern French varietal. The well drained, sandy soils along the Mokelumne River deliver fully fleshed out grapes at low sugars. This young planting pays homage to the long history of this varietal in the Central Valley (Clone 3 selection derived from Black Malvoisie aka Cinsault). It's the perfect fit of history and forward thinking.
