Winemaking Notes
Plouf is French for "splash," in honor of the big personality of this wine. Made from 100% Syrah grapes, it carries a deeper hue than our flagship Enjoué Rosé. Aromatic with orange blossom and berries, it gives a burst of bright stone fruit and raspberry on the palate, with a crisp, mouthwatering finish.
Vineyard Notes
Justi Creek Vineyards is our original estate property, located at our winery in Glen Ellen, which was an enclave for the earliest French winemakers in California in the 1890's. Under the care of the Lasseters, it has been painstakingly restored and reimagined with great attention to detail, and is the site of a small, eco-friendly, state-of-the-art winery.
This site benefits from being a warmer area within the valley, but also the narrowest section, resulting in a funnel that concentrates the cool ocean breezes and creates huge diurnal shifts that allow for long hang time and full flavor development with good acid retention.
