{"product_id":"california-dreamin-press-gang-cellars-natural-wine","title":"California Dreamin'","description":"\u003cp\u003ePress Gang Cellars is a small-production project run by Kyle and Savanna Knapp out of Lompoc, California. Kyle spent years working up to head winemaker at Stolpman Vineyards before launching this label in 2010. Both wines here are drawn from named vineyard sites in Santa Barbara County, made with a low-intervention approach in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cuvee Milo Red Blend 2018 is a GSM composed of 47% Grenache Noir and 15% Mourvedre from La Certe Vineyard in the Los Olivos District AVA, plus 38% Syrah from Robert Rae Ranch on the eastern edge of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Robert Rae Ranch sits at approximately 800 ft elevation in weathered sandstone soils from the Vaquero formation on a north-facing slope exposed to coastal fog and marine winds. The vineyard is certified organic. Only 160 cases of Cuvee Milo were produced. On the nose: black currant, blueberry, cocoa powder, anise, and graphite with a hint of roasted meat. Fresh and bright on the palate with blue and black fruit at the core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe La Presa Grenache Blanc 2017 comes from La Presa Vineyard, a gently sloped site overlooking the Santa Ynez River near the Old Mission Santa Ynez. The vineyard has been farmed by the Caldwell-Altman family since 1972. Grenache Blanc from warm-climate Santa Barbara County typically shows green and tropical fruit with medium-to-full body and moderate acidity. Press Gang has used concrete fermentation for their La Presa whites, which preserves freshness and texture without adding oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta Barbara County spans several distinct sub-AVAs. The Los Olivos District is a broad alluvial terrace with warm days, cool nights, and consistent fog patterns. The Sta. Rita Hills, located about 10 miles from the Pacific, is cooler and windier, with diatomaceous earth and sandstone soils that suit varieties requiring longer hang time and high natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Press Gang Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40500761428167,"sku":"CALIFORNIA","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/press-gang-wine-curated-box-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185957","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/california-dreamin-press-gang-cellars-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
