{"title":"Unturned Stone","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom their 1700′ elevation, the vines of Waterhorse Ridge have quite a view – rugged, redwood-covere terrain, a little view of the Pacific, the unearthly coastal fog, and some of the Sonoma Coast’s most famous Pinot Noir vineyards. Most would say it’s no place to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. We, along with vineyard owners Patricia and Jesus, beg to differ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatricia Greer and her husband Jesus Velasquez married and bought their land in the 1990’s, with the goals of starting a family, growing diverse crops and raising a few animals. They planted their 2-acre vineyard in 1997, the same year their first child, Jesus (“Jesusito” around the ranch) was born. At that time, the Sonoma Coast was still something of a new frontier to grape growers, but most of the area’s new growers were betting on Pinot Noir. Jesus and Patricia figured that a mix of thicker-skinned Bordeaux varieties (mostly Cabernet Sauvignon) would better withstand the coastal moisture, and would also have the “little black dress” sort of versatility to carry on through the fickle turns of the wine market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaterhorse Ridge enjoys a cool coastal climate, but does get some hot days due to its high perch on Stewart Ridge. The soil is rocky, well-drained loam derived from uplifted ocean floor sediments and basalts. Jesus and Jesusito farm the vineyard meticulously, managing the vines’ canopy by hand and keeping any other inputs to a minimum. In all but the hardest years, they’ve been able to limit spraying to one or two sulfur applications in a season. The old horse and the burro grazing in the vineyard have kept the cover crop (mostly clover) in check during the winters. Gophers are kept in check by a Jack Russell and a small army of cats. Other than limited irrigations in the recent drought seasons, the vineyard has been dry-farmed for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the Unturned Stone wines we have in the shop: white and red, made from Sauvignon Blanc, Carignan Zinfandel and Merlot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle is picked by our team at Wine Therapy in Nolita, NYC.

The AVA is defined by elevation and consists of a smattering of vineyards planted on a few flat ridge tops. Perli sits at 2000 feet making for a wine with defined acidity and a distinct aromatic profile. The 2022 vintage is a classic Cali Chardonnay with aromas of lemon curd and white lilies. On the palate, the wine is richly textured with flavors of sliced almond and citrus zest. The long, mouthwatering finish is a little reminiscent of buttery apple tartin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good Omens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53947053703392,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9259\/9713\/files\/UnturnedChard.jpg?v=1787887395"},{"product_id":"unturned-stone-moonwater-merlot-2023","title":"2023 Unturned Stone 'Moonwater' Merlot, California, USA | 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBennett Valley is an often-overlooked gem of an AVA tucked between Sonoma Mountain and the Anadel hills (about 20 minutes from our home in Santa Rosa!).  A cooling channel of air from the Pacific Ocean gives the valley’s wines great balance and finesse.   Harvested under a full moon, the Moonwater Merlot is medium bodied, with plush cherry, herbs, and a little pepper on the palate, Finishes with soft tannins and juicy acidity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good Omens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53947409105120,"sku":"890089776667","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9259\/9713\/files\/UnturnedMerlot.jpg?v=1786485172"},{"product_id":"unturned-stone-the-rhythm-section-castanon-vineyard-2024","title":"2024 Unturned Stone 'The Rhythm Section' Castañon Vineyard Carignan \u0026 Zinfandel, California, USA | 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e85% Carignan and 15% Zinfandel from George Ricetti’s vineyard planted in the 1960’s in Redwood Valley.
