Description
WINEMAKER: Evan Lewandowski
VARIETAL: Carignan, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon
REGION: Mendocino County, California, USA
VITICULTURE: Organic
Handpicked on the same day from the Testa vineyard in Mendocino County, dry-farmed organically & planted on sandy loam, alluvium, derived from sedimentary rock. This is truly a unique old vine site. Featuring Carignan ~ 75 year old dry farmed head-trained bush vines & Grenache ~ 100 year old dry farmed head-trained bush vines.
Co-fermented as 100% wholecluster in open top fermenters seeing punchdowns and/or pump overs occur just once daily until dry. The resulting wine was pressed direct to large format old oak where it remained on lees for 12 months. Bottled unfined, unfiltered & preservative free.
Evan Lewandowski initially made his way to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah — or really, to ski. Sticking around after graduation, Evan began working at a local wine bar. It was here that Evan began developing a passion for natural wine and a dream of becoming a winemaker himself.
After working at Domaine Binner in Alsace for several years, Evan Lewandowski moved back to his adopted state of Utah in 2012 to start his own small project. With the intention to someday plant and grow 100% of his grapes in Utah, Evan began purchasing his fruit from Fox Hill Vineyard and Testa Vineyard in Mendocino County, trekking the organic, dry-farmed and alternate grape varieties in his refrigerated U-Haul to his home in Salt Lake City to complete fermentation, maturation and bottling.
While Evan moved his operations entirely to California in April 2018, his L-shaped labels remain a tribute to his adopted state. His winemaking is rooted in his hands-off philosophy, crafting heartfelt, honest wines made to showcase site & season.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
