Idlewild, "Lost Hills Ranch", Cortese, Mendocino - 2019

Item # 48753 750 mL

Winemaker Sam Bilbro's dedication to the grapes of Piedmont results in stellar California Cortese. The Lost Hills Ranch vineyard sees both maritime and continental influences, and its sandstone and schist soils contribute beautiful minerality. 20% of the wine sees skin contact for a month and half, contributing structure and a savory character, and the rest underwent direct press. Fresh, vivacious, with medium body and a hint of structure, this ia a beautiful rendition of California Cortese. Pair with chicken and peppers braised with herbs.

Glossary

California

California makes more wine than any other state in the United States. Not only does the state grow a variety of noble grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, there are also plantings of lesser-known varieties such as Nebbiolo, Roussanne and Mourvèdre to name just a few.

Cortese

A white variety grown throughout much of Italy, but most widely known for the lovely wines it produces in Piedmont's Gavi DOCG. The best Cortese wines are fresh, aromatic and fruity, with a bracing minerality and citrus on the finish.
